Excellent item, works great, not too complicated to operate. Onboard mic works good for my purposes.

I decided to purchase this Sony instead of the Olympus VN-4100PC Digital Voice Recorder (for lectures, conversations) and I am so glad I did! In less than 45 minutes, I had recorded a 5 minute test msg, installed the software, copied the test msg from the recorder to my pc, converted the test file to mp3, and burned it to a cd. The msg played in full and as clear as the original when I tested it in my cd player. The sound quality is great too. I hightly recommend this product.

This is light weight and very simple to use. the software s powerful and allows you convert to multiple formats. Much easer to use than my old Olympus.

This is a very handy product to have if you are recording speeches, have to do dictation, or remember where you parked. It plays back easiy and the sound quality is pretty good. I haven't tried it with an external mic yet, but I will probably do that. It's fairly sensitive for a built-in mic, but I wouldn't use it to record podcasts or anything like that.
Where it gets weird is, it has no off switch. So you burn down the batteries whether you are using the thing or not. That is really annoying. The USB and software is handy, but it fails to tell you or give you a choice about where it is dropping the MP3 files it creates. It's been two weeks and I still can't find them.
Nonetheless, I got three days worth of meetings I partially zoned out on captured for later transcription. That alone was worth $50! Great for ADHD folks--discreet and professional.
 Play Back Sound Too low May 23, 2008

The playback sound was too low. I used the built in mic and also a phone pick up which I know works well with other recorders and I could barely hear what was going on on the phone.
It is going back.
