I used to record with an old cassette 4 track Tascam, and I really do like that format. I'm not too keen on elaborate PC based software- want to keep it simple, easy and fun.

Any other suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks in advance.
The Tascam is more like your 4 track cassette, it supports overdubs and multi-tracking. The H2 (discontinued and replaced by the H2n) is a fine recorder but has no overdub capability. However, it can be used as an interface to a computer, allowing overdubbing within the computer using other software.
