Recommendations: Simple Audio Recorder

[Patrick Bartek]

Looking for a simple audio recorder with built-in playback for foreign language practice.  Commandline type okay.  Will be using a Skype-type headset with integrated microphone--two separate plugs.  Have found many audio recording studio programs, but don't need all that sophistication.  Tried a couple, anyway, but neither recognized the mike.  And, of course, recorded only silence.

Any suggestions?
