ICD-BX022 1 5 1 1
no PC connection I just got one of these recorders. I thought by default all recorders can be connected to computers to transfer their recorded sound files. But this recorder does not connect to a computer! I believe SONY should mention this important fact in the device specification page. I would not buy it if I knew there was no way to connect this device to a computer and transfer the files. March 22, 2012
