 A real pain in the you-know-what June 10, 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've had this recorder for a number of months now, and I'm using it to recorder interviews that I am using for my thesis. While the recording quality itself is fairly good, I am extremely irritated that the buttons themselves aren't really set up very well. For example, I am transcribing the interviews, and so I am constantly replaying parts of the recording. If you don't press the button exactly in the right spot, you end up, instead of forwarding backward or ahead, going all the way to the beginning of the track and losing your spot. For obvious reasons, this can be extremely infuriating. I've had it do this a good 20 times at least, and then have to try to find where I was. It's caused a loss of efficiency that I think is unacceptable.
So, if you don't mind inefficiency and having to spend a lot of time forwarding and going back and subsequently losing your spot, then it's great.
 Thank God June 8, 2007
This is seriously the best recorder I found on the market. Very clear and easy to use. I have spent alot of money and came back here and found this, with all of its great ratings I gave it a shot...I wound up buying 3 more for friends and family. Totally worth the money.
Happy shopper.
Works For Me June 8, 2007
The product works as described and works well for the basic tasks needed. Aside from the small matter that the product pictured is a different color than the item received, it is the same model as advertised and I would recommend it without qualification. It is a good value for the price.
Wonderfully light and small May 22, 2007

I don't really have anything else to judge this on--it's my first VADR. However, it is wonderfully light weight and small and very easy to learn how to use. In contrast to another reviewer, I actually find it almost too hard to erase something. After pressing erase, you have to confirm it with a second toggle. Since I've usually already made sure it was the thing I wanted to erase, it's somewhat annoying. Still one day I'm sure I'll be happy about it.
Has already paid for itself by curing my PPM May 14, 2007

This is a great recorder! I'm very pleased with the VN3100 digital recorder. It is exactly what I needed for my PPM (Pathetic Poor Memory). I use it for business meetings, church meetings, honey-do list and general thoughts when no paper and pencil is available. I didn't need the option of data download that the VN-3100PC provides, but it would be worth the extra $20.00 if I did. It's easy to use and so small that it fits in any pocket or I also purchased the neck lanyard. The sound is clear and load and the price makes it a great buy.
