Many older MP3 players include a record function with an external audio input.


For example, a 3rd generation iPod touch, and some early iPhones,




Several of the no name ones I have had over the years also included it.




My Sansa Fuze can record, so above a certain level, I think they all do.

Actually, that cheap Hipstreet one I bought I think it can record off the

FM radio (but no ability to record from elsewhere).



But they tend to record as .wav's, not MP3s. That's not really a factor

since I assume the original poster just meant "record to digital" rather

than specifically MP3, and one can always transfer to a computer an

convert there. But wav's take up more space. And since electronic

storage as used in these things have a limited number of write cycles,

this isn't the thing to use for endless new recordings, then erasing.

I have two solid state audio recorders I bought at Walmart years ago. An RCA and a Sony. They 'eat batteries'. Best to use rechargable batteries for those.
