For a while a couple of years ago I was using a Coby something-or-other. It
could record from built-in mic or line level input. It had a usb port but
I never tried that. It stored data on SD memory cards that I removed and
plugged into my usb SD card reader on linux. Then just mount and copy.
I don't recall if it was mp3 encoded already or if it was in wav format.
