I have 3 digital voice recorders. The Sony ICD-UX70 saves recordings as MP3, the Olympus WS-210S uses WMA, and the Olympus VN-4100PC uses WAV.
The first two have a USB plug, and can easily upload to a computer. The VN4100 comes with a cable, but I have difficulty transferring files to the computer. For a long time, MP3 was the most common format, but WMA is taking over.

Barbara,
Since you haven’t experienced the iTunes Music store yet, you might want to hold off making your statement in the final paragraph of your post. The user experience of that store overshadows all the above-mentioned sites. I’ve tried some of the other sites and none offer the ease-of-use and portable music player integration that Apple does. Please let us know what you think after you use it!
