Good Recording, Wish It Had More Features I use this recorder for lectures in school. It has really good recording capability. When I play it back I can hear the professor clearly speaking. I don't always have time to remember to switch my folders on the recorder however, and it has no option to transfer files to and from different folders. It that was an option I would rate it 5 stars. September 6, 2012
High Tech...Low Price Excellent documentation for the numerous capabilities of this little recorder; this may inhibit its' usage for those lacking reading skills. As it records in state of the art MP3 formats, simply connect the headphone jack out to a computer microphone or sound card auxiliary input & instantly upload your recording to your choice of software. This baby rocks! Only improvement I could wish for is maybe down the road it could be produced in a thinner model? March 7, 2012
No transfer.... I bought the with the assurance that it used MP3 files that were easily transferrable to my computer. I used it, but cannot get the information off, let alone easily. This unfortunately really limits the utility of the device for most purposes. Beware. February 11, 2012
Good Recorder When I purchased this recorder I assumed that all recorders have an option to upload to the computer, this one doesn't. You would be able to seperately purchase a cable if you wish to to this, there are forums online about the process. On a positive note, there are multiple features that are easy to use such as dividing recordings, multiple folders, time and date settings, and a hold button so that you don't accidentally record over previous recordings by accident. If you are looking for a product to upload your recordings, look around a bit more, but if you want this for record and play this product is perfect. January 10, 2012
