I've been looking for some sort of portable setup to be able to record sound. Bird calls, ambient noises, just whatever happens to strike me as an interesting noise. I originally thought that a minidisc player / recorder would be ideal for this, but Sony's DRM obsession seems to take them out of the running. I want to be able to upload the sounds to a computer, which apparently MD won't do unless the sound came from that computer in the first place.

So I'm kind of at a loss regarding where to go next. I want to be able to record the sound at higher quality than mp3, but I also don't want to lug around a ton of equipment to do it. Any suggestions? Am I biting off more than I can chew?
