For line-in recording you can't really beat the h100 line. It's old, I believe it came out during the reign of the 2nd gen ipods, close to the 3rd. I had one for a few years and it was great. It even has rockbox support, which is an alternative firmware you can flash to so you can have customizable UI, more supported formats, and all sorts of stuff.

I had an IRiver H140, which was fantastic. The sound quality was superb. Unfortunately I went running with it once to often and the hard drive gave up. The one I had was capable of taking optical line in as well as analogue, recording was superb.

It's a fantastic player, especially with Rockbox installed, and due to the digital output. They can be modded for larger hard disks and battery replacement, so the H1x0 series still has a future.
