Phil,
I just found out our current mini disc recorder is the Sony MZ-10.
It only allows uploads, not downloads. Thanks again for the
recommendation. Perhaps we just need to update our equipment.

download the files very quickly, via the SonicStage software, and is
probably the best bang-per-buck you are likely to get. Plus it has
the added advantage if you ever feel like starting recording
say 'more seriously' you have an excellent recorder to do just that
with. It is very compact and would easily slip into an inside pocket
and be completely unobtrusive. One thing you can do on it which is
really useful for long recordings is to set it to automatically
create a track mark say every 10 minutes. Then when you come to
download instead of downloading say a one and a half hour recording
you can download 10 minute chunks which can be joined together in
something like Audacity a free audio editor.

is available. Again some of these you can download to computer by
USB. But they can be two thirds the cost of say the Sony MZ RH1, I
know the Olympus recorders include a mic but you can get some very
cheap personal mics these days like this:
