Voice Recorders(cassette/digital) and to PC?

[Smaerd]

Hi I'm looking for a high quality voice and/or sound recorder, that I can transfer the sounds later to my PC. The purpose for this is I often find myself thinking of really good thoughts or poems or freestyles whatever you wanna call it I'm white, and I forget them because I'm a stoner. So if I could have it high quality I might even put some music too it(I love to play around and make digital music on my computer), and give it away as very meaningful gifts(not trying to become famous).


The iTalk would be clutch because I always have my iPod and it would automaticly put it to digital. Though I read it has really bad recording, and I want a pretty decent quality.

I was looking into the digital ones and some of those cost more then my computer itself. So I was more leaning towards a cassette one, I read some reviews and heard that those are pretty good for quality and are alot more affordable.

I was wondering if anyone knows of one that might have a headphone jack that I could just plug into it's mic jack and play, or if I could easily rig doing so(I'm fairly electronic savvy). Like use a standard TRS cord plug it into the headphone jac of the cassete recorder, then plug the other end into the microphone jac on my computer, press record on my computer and then press play on the cassette voice recorder. Is that possible?

Anyone have any advice/experiance/ideas that could point me in the right direction?
