I should say also that you need to check the settings on your recorder to make sure that it is in stereo mode, that any low cut filter mode is turned OFF (very important), and that encoding is set to either WAV (16 bit, 48K is what I normally use, but you can use 24bit 48K for slightly better quality (but at the cost of a MUCH bigger file) or 44.1K 16bit will give you a slightly smaller file and slightly less quality. 320kbps MP3 setting will give you the smallest file and consequently least quality, but should still be decent. Don't use any setting less than that.
