Hi June,
I say that the Zoom H2 Recorder at $140 plus a set of $10 earphones is
perfect for what you describe. That is what I use for the exact same
purpose. I just tuck the zoom into my shirt pocket (with the foam
windscreen over the top). The files are easily downloaded to my MAC
for sharing or comparing.
Good luck,
Bob McLean, Sonoma, CA
