  Subject: recording boxes?


  Hello, folks,

   

  I'm flummoxed on something and I hope you can help me. We're setting up an exhibit on a shoestring budget and we want to use several sound boxes - something small where you can record onto it (about 15-30 seconds) and then visitors will push the button and listen to a sound clip. 

   

  I have been scouring the internet to find one of these things in the $15-$35 range. I ordered what I thought would work, and it turned out to be some sort of strange motion-sensor thing, with no button, and not terribly well made to begin with.

   

  Any ideas? It seems like this is simple technology, so I must just be looking in the wrong places.

   

  Many thanks,

  Erica
