2.0 out of 5 stars Be careful!! Works Ok, May 25, 2009

By	Oscar Hernandez V (Heredia,Costa Rica) - See all my reviews

Lets see, the recorder works perfect! Good sound and quality... BUT has one mayor issue, you can't connect to the PC trough a USB port. The only way is with a Mini Stereo Jack, and here comes the problem, since the only way to passed your recording to the PC, are on real time, I mean, after you connect the recorder, you must press the "play button" and start to record all the files on to your computer, So if you record 50 hours, 50 hours will take you passed the file to your PC. Not such a good and fast way. Other than that, the voice recorder work perfect.

If you are plaining on buy it, please take this in consideration.!

4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable, small, easy to use, May 25, 2009

By	Music Man (Central NJ United States) - See all my reviews

Though I haven't used this as maybe it was intended as a voice recorder, this little guy has done me well since I bought it. For me, its best use i to practice brass instruments into it and get instant feedback. Granted, it's not the best sound I would come to expect, but I realize I'm not playing into a $1,000 mic either. With the mic sensitivity on low, I get excellent results playing directly at the unit - the levels work well considering.

The only thing I wish it could do was playback or USB transfer to a computer. The model above this wouldn't have helped me either as it appears to be PC only.

Overall, nice little piece of equipment. I take it with me in my horn case all the time!

By	T. Helvie "TERRYSJEWEL" (ALBUQUERQUE, NM USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This item arrived and it is not PC compatible. There is no PC jack, and the ad says there is BUT there is NOT. VERY frustrating
