Sony ICD-UX80 2048 MB

$111.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
since the recorder is also designed to be used as an mp3 music player, it might have been nice if they had added a random play option.
from www.amazon.com

i use it during my music class so i can record our session.
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com

Olympus WS-110

from LK from Wisconsin, www.circuitcity.com
you can add a plug-in stereo mic (but don't need to) and make amazing quality music recordings with a device that fits in your pocket!
from DGL, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: not recommended for music recording (recitals, etc) - in other words, not recommended for more than it's supposed to be good for (quelle surprise).
from www.amazon.com
i bought this recorder to record music.
from www.amazon.com

the ws-210s is sold as a stereo voice recorder, but it also does quite well with music.

you cant listen back on the internal speaker with any satisfaction, so for music, its essential that you run in thru some kind of power/speaker situation.
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com
i read some reviews (here and elsewhere) saying this could be used to make decent recordings of live music, using the ultra-high quality mode and an external mic.
