Brian has a small recorder he's been using. I believe he picked it up from
www.Geeks.com. Ask him about it at the meeting tonight.

I believe the model he got only records/plays wav and mp3 and was under
$100.

To get ogg and flac support you probably have to move to the $400 range
and install the ogg and flac support after purchasing the device :(. On
the plus side that device is likely running Linux :).

Thanks. Every day can use a little humor :).
