What is a really good microphone for use with a MD recorder?

here are some things i'd like it to be:

under 50 dollars
stereo
palm-or-smaller sized

It doesn't have to be audiophile equipment, but it needs to be high enough quality to record a concert, for listening to later, as opposed to the lame integrated mics on other devices.

In that price range, I'd have a look at the stuff carried by Minidisco and The Sound Professionals:

Minidisco Mics
The Sound Professionals

I use one of these from the Sound Professionals for recording rehearsals on minidisc. It's good enough for that (if you're not too fussy), but I do get much better recordings when I use my Rode NT5's!

The Sounds Professionals have sample recordings from some of their mics on their website, so you might find it useful to check those out.

Let us know what you end up with and how it works out!

Good luck.

You may also check out warehouse123.com. They have wide range of microphone under $100.

I will receommend the Aiwa CM-S33 Stereo Condenser Microphone. It has a compact folding design which is pretty good for storage, and recording quality of aiwa microphone are promising. Not bad around your price range.
