I read another review on this page that said that this product doesn't work with a Mac. I bought it anyway from Mejier as I knew if it didn't work as advertised on the box, they would take it back. Good news, it works perfectly with a Mac. Not sure what the other person was doing (or not doing), but all I did was plug it in with the provided USB cord and it works. Can listen through iTunes or drag and drop mp3 onto desk top, it works perfect. I use it mainly in a lecture hall (100+ seats) but I put the recorder at the lecture podium. Has performed flawlessly. Very loud and crisp. While I have down loaded the recordings to my Mac (which improves the sound quality greatly by the way), I usually plug in head phones to the recorder when listening just because its more convenient. If your apprehensive, don't be. Go buy one.

Excellent sound clarity/Great value for price!
I love this recorder! For $50, you cannot find a better value! The clarity is amazing for the price! It has several "scene" settings like meeting, lecture, interview, etc., which adjusts the specs to the best settings for that situation. It has a microSD card which allows for hundreds of hours of recording, even at the finest settings. I love that you can change the display (even during recording) to show the current time of recording length or to the time remaining in memory so you are prepared for how much room you have left to record, although I have never been close. I have used this recorder in small conference room settings and in large courtroom settings, and the clarity of the recording is incredible. In fact, when listening to a recording from a large courtroom, I can often hear better from the recording than I did live, and that is using its own internal mic!
I have heard mention of interference from other electronics or cell phones, but I have NEVER had an issue with this recorder, and I place it right next to my computer!
The only con I see is that the recorder is light and small and a bit slick, so I added two adhesive non-skid tabs to the bottom so that if someone were to bump it, it wouldn't go crashing to the floor. BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT!

Does the job?sort of.
I would have chosen something else if I had known that this recorder would not work with a Mac. The CD that came with it did not work. When I came to the website it said that the driver/program did not work for the Mac. False advertising considering it says that it does work. Not that Sony cares. It will just be the only product I purchase of this brand. I have been given Sony products and am ambivalent to them. They work?.sometimes.
