A recording device includes a timer for automatically starting and stopping the recording mechanism, an input jack for accepting audio signals directly from an external audio source, and a power supply for the audio source. When a recording interval begins, the device supplies the external audio source with the required power via the power supply and the recording mechanism begins receiving audio signals received in the input jack and storing them on recording media for later playback. Alternatively, the device may be equipped with a microphone for accepting sound waves in addition to an electrical audio input. It is contemplated that the device be programmable to permit multiple start/stop intervals including daily and weekly intervals. The device can also be equipped with an audio amplifier and speaker for playback of recorded programs at a convenient time.
