4-track recorders

Next saturday, my friends and I are traveling to a discount music store for an activity. I am thinking of purchasing a portable 4-track recorder. From what I am reading on the internet, the Zoom PS-04 seems like a possibility. My sax/theory teacher also has good things to say about the Tascam Pocketstudio 5. Does anyone have any experience with either of these or any other suggestions/thoughts? Thanks!

An 8-track is like a cassette. A digital 4-track recorder lets you record 4 separate tracks of music and play them together. Does anyone know anything about these?

Yeah, mayn opf the older variety used cassete tapes, and you could mik up to 4 channels into them

the newer ones use digital technology to record 4 seperate tracks at once, to a CD-RW. I would go with the Tascam.
