good product...., while the product was perfect, it is a bit complicated to use...i recommend going through the instructions step by step several times...
No problem under Linux.., At least under Linux, I haven't had any problems at all with it yet.
I picked up one of these for just a few bucks "refurbished" (I'm hoping they upgraded the firmware) in a recent on-line sale. As everyone noted, it shows up properly as a "drive" when plugged in, it has Windows software of some sort on the device itself (I'm not booting into Windows just to see if it's as bad as claimed, will probably just delete it), and the files are in some apparently unique ".VOC" format.
That was a little disappointing, but a few minutes search on-line found a "devoc.c" program with reviews (not sure I'm supposed to link to that from here). Downloaded it, compiled it (very simple), associated the ".VOC" extension with "devoc -p", and now the files play when I click on them. A few minutes more and I had a script working to convert files in batch mode into .wav, and of course they could easily be converted from there to MP3 (or OGG or whatever), but I don't really anticipate needing that myself.
Reviews of devoc say it's MUCH more reliable than the "stock" RCA software.
If you only run Windows but have a Windows C compiler (I don't) you might give it a try, but I haven't. It (devoc) is intended for Linux, so it may not work. The conversion routine probably has a better chance than the " -p" flag to send it directly to the speakers.
RCA Digal Voice USB file format hoax-ware., DO NOT BUY ANY RCA DIGITAL VOICE RECORDERS PERIOD, UNLESS U JUST WANT A SIMPLE VOICE RECORDER WITH NO WAY IN ANY PROGRAM AVAILABLE TO TURN THE RCA *.voc © FORMAT FILES IT RECORDS THEN PASSES THRU A USB/FIREWIRE LEAD (INCLUDED) INTO A WINDOWS, LINUX OR MAC COMPUTER. THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO CONVERT AN RCA *.
You'll be sorry, The reliability and stability of this product is low. The software crashes constantly and the recorder freezes up during use. The only way I found to get it going again was to remove the batteries, but guess what? That causes all your files to disappear. And forget calling customer service. It's useless. DO NOT PUT AN IMPORTANT RECORDING ON THIS DEVICE. You may lose it. Buy a more reliable recorder. RCA makes crap.
RCA digital voice recorder 5022b,
Fine Low Capacity, I bought this after getting tired of some other DVRs being so difficult to reconfigure after battery changes. Why do they make recorders that can't remember the date and time of day for even 15 secs. Haven't they heard of flash memory? Heck, they are using it to record our voices.
This is easier to reset and I like the overall control layout better than the other DVRs. It mimics the old tape based recorders.
The only thing I don't like is that activating record mode doesn't work according to the instructions as I read them. To get it to record when it is in "sleep" mode, you have to press the play button whereupon it will "wake up" and then be ready to accept a record command.
The other thing I don't like is its capacity. 64MB is just not enough for the use I have for it. If a version with more capacity, say 128 MB, is available I would get that. Buy maybe this is enough for you.
Don't bother with...., I purchased this device hoping to transcribe already recording meetings which are emailed to me in uncompressed mono audio in WAV files. This device claimed to be able to copy off audio and convert it to wav. Why the heck would anyone want to copy off a proprietary format and then not be able to load even THAT back on the device? The device came with V3.27 of the Digital Voice Manger software but RCA's own webpage has V3.24. Also, the tech support site has broken links and near empty FAQ pages. If a company can not stand by its own product this alone in my eyes is enough of a reason not to buy it. The fact that you can't load audio onto it is a whole issue in itself as well.
RCA Digital Recorder., Nice little recorder though not good for noisy environments. Works well for low price unit but don't expect fantastic sound - just adequate sound. It's definately worth the price for someone whose use is for lectures or non=professional use.
Worth it for the price, Works pretty well. I use it to record lectures during class. I sit at the back of a classroom full of 150 students, and yet it picks up my professors' voices just fine (though, when you set it on a desk and happen to tap a pencil next to it, the playback can be quite painful).
