Digital voice recorder or microcassette?

[elibear]

I would like to tape my kids talking, singing, whatever. I was thinking I'd just get a microcasette recorder, but then I saw those other things.

Anyone have any experience with either? What brands are good, features to look for, etc.? I want to stay under $75, don't need anything fancy- I would just like to catch some memories. I'm leaning toward the tapes because I'm tech-challenged and if it's too confusing for my little brain I'll never use it.:tongue:

Thanks-

It might be a good idea to buy an MP3 player with voice recording.

Go digital because then you can burn it all onto CD easier and with higher quality. Not hard at all.

Does that work just like burning pictures onto a disk? If so, I can actually handle that! Is it the same kind of disk, or is there a different one for that?

You would be saving the files off of the recorder using a cable to hook it up to the PC. (or blue tooth if both are equipped) Then you would choose those files to burn to a CD. I am pretty sure that is all you would need to do. Knowing computers, you might have to finesse it a bit. LOL Good Luck :bigok:

Now *that*much, I can handle. Now to actually pick one out.
