If you're in the States, there's broadcast supply store called BSW (Google them). They have a Tascam DR-07 on sale for $99, this is a stereo handheld recorder that uses a flash card (incl). I bought one when Guitar Center had them on sale for the same price. Very good audio, easy to use. Built-in mics, plus you can take a line out from a mixer into it as an alternate source.
Just what the world needs...more DJ's!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!

IMO. One of the best things you can do for them is instill the basics of audio. I work at a night club, and 9 out of 10 'DJ's' don't know how to plug in the RCA cables from our system into their mixer. They claim the mic 'doesn't work', when it is 'off', or the channel fader is down. They unplug their mixer, while the power amps are still on, causing all 5,000 watts to pop. This happens on a weekly basis. Good Luck, keep up the good work!!!!!
learning yeah thanx my friend -- i know what your saying about
learning
yeah thanx my friend -- i know what your saying about how they dont know much so we are all about learning them the basics of all aspects as we also do nightclubs and we own our own system (20k) which we have had most of the problems lack of knowledge creates-- including the simple thing red light = crap sound --this is one of my pet hates with most djs given that in every aspect of life a red light = danger yet they cant comprehend that it means something different on a mixer lo we also show them how to sent up and power down correctly but hey its an ongoing battle lol

Hi,..
Maybe something like this?
I don't know this particular device, but these days it is hard to find a real bad sounding digital recorder, anyway.
Visit a music online store page and look for portable recorders... There is a wide choice....
