Hi Subramani, If not all electronic shops, but you should find such a cable with those who do repairing and sell the spares. You can ask them for a cable which has stereo pins on both the sides of it. I have seen some people in delhi calling as Tinni cable (not sure if it is a english name). Using such a cable, i have recorded radio shows as well. hope this helps, regards, Pranay Gadodia | Programme Manager Project Eyeway - A comprehensive information helpdesk on eye & blindness C/o Score Foundation, Y-70, Lower Ground floor, Hauz Khas, New Delhi - 110 016.

One more thing: What do you call the chord used to connect the recorder with the PC? I mean, how do you ask for it in electronic shops? Is it available in all electronic shops?

Actually, you can do with these small-sized players too. and as far as audio quality of these recordings after completion is concerned, softwares are there to make improvements like minimizing clicking and hissing noises and increasing volume level etc. the very softwares (like audacity, goldwave and soundforge etc) could be utilized for the job. Hope this helps.
