NOT MAC COMPATIBLE must own a PC So aggrevated there aren't more voice recorders on the market that are mac compatible like those that are pc compatible! The direct USB is a nice feature but you HAVE to have the software installed on your PC in order for your computer to even detect anything is plugged in. Argh. I wouldn't have bought this item if I had read these Amazon reviews first. There is guaranteed a better product allaround for your needs.
Nice Product! The product is perfect in the sense that I recieved it quickly and it works perfectly. There are some technological difficulties that cannot be changed but overall the product is really nice. Being able to record audio and load it directly to a computer is a really convenient way to allow prosumers maximize their productivity.
Nice recorder Sony formatted files not helpful The recordered has some nice features like being able to select folders that you want to record the sessions into. However the sound is recordered in a proprietary sony format. You need to download software to make Media Player play it. What makes things really annoying is there is no clean method by which you can save it into a normal format for sharing with other people. Why on earth didn't Sony use WAV or MP3 format is beyond my comprehension.Recording quality is decent when you are within 6 feet of a person and have the recorder in plain view. However if you are further away and want to keep the discrete like in your pocket the sound quality is terrible.
Save your money I was excited about some of the features of this product along with the price for what's offered. Said features stopped me from giving this a 1star rating. Unfortunately the sound quality is HORRIBLE compared to others I've heard many of which are less expensive. And the format of the created file isn't very versatile either. Such a shame Save your money for a different product.
what a POS I have never bought a bad Sony product until now. This is an embarassment to Sony The deveopment team for this POS should be assigned to a ball bearing factory. The speaker has no resolution so there is no quick play back capability and the overall interface is cumbersome at best.
Miserable Directions I could never get this thing to work. Start dictating want to stop and can't figure out how to do it without going back to the beginning. The directions manual is worthless.
Very Poor Sound Quality I bought this because of the Sony name and am regretting it now the sound quality is horrible. I'm a med student and use it to record lectures the sound quality is so bad I can't understand the lecturer.
Sound quality extremely bad compared to competition I bought this recorder 10 months ago. Afterwards I have had many devices with voice recording ability and this is my ranking of the sound quality.1. edirol r9 field recorder2. iriver T10 mp3 player3. Olympus ws320 voice recorder4. Sony icdu 60 voice recorderThe sony recorder is actually very bad compared to the other devices also the iriver mp3 player that is about the same size. The sound quality is amazingly bad and is a misuse of the sony name.
Exclusive not Mac compatible Sony failed Proprietary format and although it is a FAT16 flash drive when plugged into a PC for some reason it cannot be seen on a Mac. Sony exclusivity is a big mistake. Don't buy this it will just be a big hassle trying to read process share the files. You might smash it with a sledge hammer and send to sony with a note. The buttons layout etc are nice typical of Sony and solid well made although the unit is big by current standards. 1 AAA battery. As an external drive storange device it is useless as it is not Mac compatible.
Old technology fobbed off on unsuspecting buyers If the default date is any indication this recorder was manufactured in 2006. It is at least a generation older probably more than the recorder I am replacing. Rather than record mp3 files that automaticlly open iTunes when the recorder is inserted into the USB drive it uses a proprietary software that is too old to run on VISTA. In short I must go to the expense of returning it and hope I get my money back. Nowhere in the product description does it indicate that this recorder uses superceded technology and is incompatible with newer PCs.
