The recorder comes with USB cable and and PC sofware to download the recording. It's great for recording lectures.
There are three recording modes: EP, SP and LP. EP provides high quality recording with a very short recording time. SP provides good quality recording for about 60 minutes. LP provides extended recording (210 minutes). However, the recording quality was not usable.

Sony ICD-P17 costs 20 dollars more. Comes with USB cable and PC sofware to download the recording. There are no different recording mode. It provides over 4 hours of recording capability at a great quality! Check it out. I am sure you will find it worths the money.

It's advertised as 210 minutes recording and its the worst playback I have heard (in LP mode). I uploaded the recording to my computer and realized I have just wasted [my money]. SP mode is no better. I could not hear the teacher speak on playback and I think it would have worked if I literally put the mic to his face (sat in front of the class buy the way). In HQ mode I have tested and works great but only 33 minutes of recording. Horrible. .. . STAY AWAY!!!

I carry it everywhere. It is VERY light. The software is easy to use. I record a lot of project ideas, transfer them to my PC and convert it to a .wav file if I like with the software.
And delete the files from the recorder and start over with an empty recorder.

I've recorded several hours of a musical rehearsal and it played back very clearly.

If you are recording things that are quiet, at a great distance, of course it will sound bad. It would with any but the most expensive pro audio equipment. But if you are dictating, singing, or recording something that has a moderate signal level, this thing will capture it clearly.

I've used it nearly every day for a few months now. I even jog with it. Never had a problem with it.

The "stop" button failed after about two months of moderate use; I took it to the indicated repair place, they took 3 weeks to decide they couldn't fix it, gave me an address to ship it to for warranty repair, two months later Panasonic said they could fix it for nearly the price of the unit. I wrote back pointing out that it was under warranty, they didn't respond, just shipped back the broken unit.

I'll never buy from Panasonic again.

The device was okay while it worked. Of course the "LP" mode is completely unusable, apparently true for most devices of this class (why do they bother?).

I was very dissipointed in the recording time versus quality.
On the best quality recoding mode the results were dissappointingly poor.
I could not get the included software: Voice Editor 3 to work. Worse yet,I can not get the program off my PC.
Bottom line, I would not buy it again and I do not recommend this recorder.

This item is so light and tiny that it can fit in your pocket and feel lighter than change. The features are nice I haven't used the software yet, so I'll update when I do that.
