Hi Suzanne--
My Dad wanted to do the same thing and, importantly, to "Make it
simple, Son!"  I found a few Audio CD recording decks in the $200-300
price range with a mic input.  Simple plug in mic and inrert disc and
press the red "rec" button. Sony and JVC both made units if I recall
correctly. When you think about it, if your Dad doesn't want to mess
with managing a sound file, do you think he should be involving a
laptop?   Of course, he can record a sound file on his laptop with
Audacity (freeware). It has a pretty simple recording interface. Rob
