I agree with Baron..., cheaper is not good for oboe.
Voice recorders only cover a sampling of the range and usually step down the quality like phone systems do.
Better to find a tape recorder if looking for low cost alternatives.
Even better, save up and wait for a decent system.
I do not know about the iPod direct recording, but mic quality also means a lot so I am a little skeptical about direct recording onto iPod.
Having said all this, still..., even on cheap and rather low quality devices, if you can get past the tone distortion you can at least gauge intonation, balance, style and ensemble tightness.... those are important, too.
Just beware, don't put too much emphasis on oboe tone as heard on a cheap recoder. You will need interpret it. If you compare how flutes sound vs how they record, or clarinets... and you can learn to make the important distinction. Then learning something of value is possible.
(on with the wax... off with the wax...)
