Need help finding a good portable audio recorder device

[gamefreakgcb]

Well I have tried the Sony Hi-MD recorder MZRH10 for about 6 months and I have to say they were horrible when it came to computer connectivity. Sonicstage declared 87 hours of my recordings as illegal after a failed transfer. I have briefly tried the iRiver IFP-795 and it was good but no support for direct mics. can be HD-based or flash based. Not much to say anymore. I have a budget of about 300 bucks.

Anyone?

This guy is supposed to be great, $100 over your budget though, sorry.

Lengthy review

Actually, shopping around, you can find it for ~$350.

Nice but memory stick = :thumbsdown:

Major Thom would be most seriously disappointed.

I like that M-Audio thing. Will read up on it and see how it is. More opinions welcome. Also I forgot to mention but I also want something that I can use to replace my shuffle. Ill see if the M-Audio will solve that as well.

OK read the review and I like it. But I will have to buy a biggish card though for an extra $100-150. Thats a kick in the back for now. More ideas welcome. I checked around and found a few I liked but no built in condensor mic support, only line-in is available.

Couldn't resist posting this one here.
This one is really nice but is also really expensive. and A very hi-def pic of the unit. and A review of it of some sorts, the site mentions the price tag as $15,000
