I just got a $30 gift card from Amazon and I think I want a digital recorder. I actually have owned one but I can't make it work...and others can't either so either it is too complicated or defective. I think it is a Sony.

Here is what I want to do...just record me or someone else singing a tune into it and then email it out so people know what the tune is. I am not planning on being a recording engineer or anything with it. I want it to be simple to use and have buttons bigger than the head of a pin. I want it to have a cable to get it onto a computer easily. I want it to be intuitive. It does not have to have super high recording quality, be super tiny or anything. Just workable.

I could go a bit over $30 and I do see some in that range but what would people recommend that is on Amazon right now, if you feel like going there and checking it out. mg
