My MP3 player records. It has line and optical in and can record direct
to MP3 or WAV and appears as a mass storage device under Linux, so you
can just drag/drop the files on/off the device.
It's an iRiver IHP-140 - recently rebadged as H-140. They don't sell
them new anymore as they have been replaced by newer (IMO inferior)
models.
I have had mine for a few years now and use it pretty much every day.
The battery life is excellent, the 40GB disk is big enough, and it is
fairly bullet-proof.
If this one ever goes pop I will probably buy another identical one.
To record you press the record button, to stop, you press stop. It's
pretty easy to use.
