I'm the secretary for my college's chapter of Association for Computing Machinery, but I'm too lazy to do the notes. They'd let me slide by just doing a voice recording of the meetings. Right now I'm looking at the Olympus WS-400S, which is in my $60 price range. Is there anything better for about the same price?

No offense meant by this but... how did you get HIRED!?!?! Besides wouldn't the chapter want the notes put in text form eventually? It would be much more efficient to quickly scan through text archives than trying to scan through hours of audio. Just saying.

I wasn't. This is a volunteer student organization, and I'm one of the more experienced programmers.

We don't have to take notes, it's just good to have records of what was said at meetings. Audio recording are probably better so nothing is missed.

Ah! Well that makes more sense! :)

Unfortunately the only sound recorders I know about are much more expensive than $60.

I've done recording using my Sansa MP3 player and they're turned out surprisingly well. You can get those pretty cheap.
