Be warned that many 'mp3' players actually record from the microphone as WAV
format. These can be MUCH larger (10 Mb per minute at CD quality), though
you may be able to get more recording time using lower quality audio
settings.

Getting good sound quality may be an issue too with players that only offer
a tiny (or tinny) built in microphone.
