Pocket Mic Laptop

What’s a good portable recorder to record singing during class?

Q: I need some type of portable recorder to record me singing during voice lessons/class. I’ve looked into various digital voice recorders and minidisc players, but the ones I’ve found are not good for recording singing, or need an additional mic, or not compatible with Vista.

What’s a good recorder I can use for singing class? I need something portable that fits in my pocket (obviously, I can’t be lugging around microphones, cables, laptops, and various attachments to class).

I want to be able to upload it onto my pc too (I’m using Windows Vista).

I’m looking for something under $100, if possible.

A: Under $100?? not so sure .. but you probably know that by now.. i have an olympus ls-10 digital voice recorder, this is the description :

Studio-Grade Recording to Go. Combining the advanced technologies derived from Olympus’ decades of experience in the recording field, the compact and portable LS-10 brings you high-fidelity sound recording that’s ideal for everything from live music to the singing of birds. The LS-10: unparalleled sound quality, anytime, anywhere

that would be perfect to record singing it’s just not under $100

but i found some good ones for under $100 here:
