5 out of 5 stars love it   December 16, 2008
i am in an acoustic instrumental band and the guitarist and i (violin) needed something to record as we write our music, so we can go back to it, remember it, modify it, work on it until it's done. or he can record his part, and i can listen to it so i can write mine ...

this recorder is fantastic for that. the clarity is unbelievable. i even brought it to a full band practice with probably 6+ musicians including drums and put it on the floor to record practice, and the result wasn't perfect sound quality, but totally captured the sound and feel for my own purposes.

when in a pinch, our band has even uploaded recordings of songs from this recorder onto our myspace page. if you want to hear the sound quality (recorded in the bathroom for acoustics!) go to www.myspace.com/starfkradium and listen to "the minuet"

we love it.



5 out of 5 stars Nice Recorder   December 8, 2008
I purchased this to record music lessons and jam sessions. I play bluegrass and wanted something quick and easy but wasn't worried about audiophile quality. The recordings sound much better through headphones or computer speakers than through the device speakers - but hey - that's how I planned to use it.

The feature set is good and it is easy to transfer recordings. Also works well as a music play too.

If you're looking for a very simple way to record music, like me, then this is a great purchase. I'm sure the higher capactiy players would be nice but I didn't want to keep my entire music collection online. I got hard drives for such.

Great player.



1 out of 5 stars Froze/Broke After 2 Months - Also A Drag For Mac   December 8, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Liked this unit, but it broke after only 2 months - permanently froze and, amazingly, there's no magic reset combination like "Cntrl-Alt-Delete" so I have to send this thing in. Ugh.

I haven't been abusing it, and it's the second Olympus recorder I've had that broke easily, so I'm moving on to Sony.

Other than durability, I liked it fine. Liked the instant USB feature, but it records in WMA files which are a drag to get into iTunes. You need to install "Flip For Mac" then open in Quicktime, then save as an AIF, then drag into iTunes and convert to an MP3.

Other pain is that it doesn't really have a proper "on-off" switch - it has this Hold button, and it's easy to forget you've left it on and drain the battery.



3 out of 5 stars Good recording quality   November 24, 2008
We're pretty happy with this recorder and player. It seems to pick-up pretty well but the quality of the speakers are not too great for play-back. You really need to hook it up to a computer and have you music play through the computer speakers to get good sound. But luckily you can do that and even download it to a CD if you want.


5 out of 5 stars Good product. Works easily. Small.   November 22, 2008
We are very happy with this digital voice recorder. It is small and works easily. It is nice how it has the USB plug built in. It is cool how the USB plug is hidden by the battery case. The case snaps off and you plug it into your PC/MAC. Works with our MACs. Only thing I am trying to figure out is how to get the audio recordings on out iPods.
