Just bought a Remembird recorder
Have not really thought too much about birdsong until recently, apart from enjoying it.
I recently bought a Remembird to aid in identification of a couple of birds I'd seen at Pingewood and I'm very pleased with it. :)
It records in MP3 format and has dedicated software with which to upload the recordings to your PC and edit/label your recordings.
It is not highly directional, but isn't intended to be, there is now a model to which can be connected a directional Microphone for more professional recording purposes. The standard model has a high gain microphone on the front and a small low gain microphone on the side, this can be used to make audio notes alongside the recordings.
It uses a variable time recording loop (user set), so that you can store calls retrospectively by pressing the record button, very useful as birds don't seem to sing to order. :)
Once I've got some time, I'll start recording and uploading some calls, have only done a couple so far. Here's a link to some calls I've recorded. :)
