Digital recorders

I'm off to University in the fall and am commuting to far to make me very happy. i thot i could record my lectures and play them back as i drive... good idea/bad idea, product options?

you'll never listen to them. i tried that off and on throughout school, and i very rarely listened to them.

just find a smart guy near the front and bat your eyelashes. you'll have notes for the whole semester.

however, if you are set on going the recording route, i highly recommend one that has a computer interface. that way you can store your lectures on your computer and organize by class/date/topic/etc.

i have this one and am very pleased with it.

how decent is the recording function of an iTalk to record to an iPod

I do that, and it works well.

I tried a few different models, and I learned that you have to spend some $$ to get one that's worth using. the $50 models kinda sucked.

Now I have a Panasonic that cost $100, and it's acceptable, but I wish I had a better one.

It connects to my computer, and I burn the lectures onto CD, and play them in the car. great stuff for long mindless drives, but useless for driving around town.
