Looking for a way to record live music with a portable device…any suggestions?

I'm in a band and we are looking for a somewhat affordable and easy way to record our gigs. We have a guy with a mixer and all that, but we want something easier to do at every show. Any ideas on how we could record the shows? The idea we are going for is similar to having an old school cassette player in the audience somewhere, only we want one that records as mp3's or onto cd.

Portable Media Player and going through customs?

Can I bring a portable media player with mp3's, recorded TV into another country and make it through customs?

I have a creative Zen Vision W portable media player, it has all of my music, recorded TV, home movies, pictures and other media Ect.
I am traveling to New Zealand later this year, and I am worried about going through customs with a device like this, is there any cause for concern? has anyone else gone through customs with a device like this? what about coming back to America?

Thanks in advance

Record player/turntable needle lifespan and replacement?

What is the general lifetime of a turntable's needle in terms of hours it can be played before it needs replacement? I received an "Ion TTUSB05" usb turntable for Christmas, and a friend of mine has a "Victoria Classic" model ITC 50 MP3.

Also, does anyone know what kind of needle cartridge the "victoria classic" requires for replacement? I can't seem to find it on the internet.

What’s the cheapest way to get a 7″ vinyl record into mp3 format?

I no longer have a record player and have found a rare track on 7" vinyl I want as an mp3. Is there a place that will do this for me, without me having to buy specialist equipment that I will only use once?
