I'm sure it's probably simple, but I don't know where to start, or what a device that does it is called.

If it has to be plugged into something like a radio, then so be it, but a decent quality microphone would be much preferred. If I want to spend £50 - £100 ($100 - $200 dollars?).

What kind of device should I be looking at? Will I have to buy seperate softwatre?

Many thanks for any help.

i'd ask you some questions first, namely: what do you want to record--what kind of sounds? is it spoken word, is it nature sounds, is it music? where will you want to record this-- indoors/outdoors? and if it's music: will it be solo performances, will it be a band? are you looking for something to tape shows or your own music? there are optimal tools for each of those so i'm not ready to offer a generic solution until i hear more-- but i've learned *quite a bit* about this in the past few months, and i know stuff that goes from $50 to $2000 (25 to 1K £?) so i think i can help.
