I'd like to find a digital recorder of some sort to create podcasts on. I'd prefer something simple and inexpensive if possible, and I'd rather use something off-the-shelf instead of something made especially for the blind. Long as I can play, stop, record and navigate through my files easily I'll be happy. I don't need voice menus and other things, because I'd like to try and spend less than a hundred bucks. Would also like a player that records in a universal file format, like .wav or .wma or dare I ask, MP3? Any recommendations?

Less than $100...Wanting Wav/WMA/MP3...Actually want it to sound relatively decent...Forget it. For $199, howeve,r the Zom H2 is a good choice.

or something in the marance range, less than 100 bucks dreaming though.

Hmm...I'm not liking the Marantz stuff, I've heard some recordings on the PMD series...They have bus noise. Seriously, the Zoom H2 is probably the best idea.
