I haven't anything particular in mind Andy, but is the recorder just for dictation/notetaking? If so, then one of the Olypus models might suit you. Hagger Electronics sell some of these. If its more serious stuff you are after recording, including music, then the M-Audio offering that Steve Nutt has acquired recently might be more up your street. Suppliers such as Digital Village sell these, although they come out at something like £350.00. Hope that's been of a little help to you. Ray Personal emails: Email me at mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Collins Hi all - Just reposting the below again as I'm in pretty urgent need of a basic voice recorder: I'm looking for a basic [not too expensive] digital recorder, the kind that will take notes or memos, no editing is required, just a strait forward gadget with it's own speaker. Looking to buy on line if anybody can direct me to a good site after recommending. Many thanks Andy -- This email has been verified as Virus free Virus Protection and more available at http://www.plus.net
