Buyer's feedback: - * No Conversion to Audio CD ...
Surprisingly small, light and inexpensive. I purchased the Olympus VN-4100PC to record interviews which I intended to transfer to audio CD. I was disappointed to learn (a bit too late) that neither the software shipped with this unit nor any of the media programs on my computer will convert the peculiar recording format (CELP+ADPCM) to an audio CD. Other than that major disappointment, it works well.

Buyer's feedback: - Caution: It's magnetized!
Pros: Captures sound well. Lots of space.

Cons: No means to move files off device. Only 3 speeds to play back. The "fast" pace is still a bit slow for me. The device contains a magnet! You can't store this in your pocket, briefcase or backpack near your credit cards, USB drives or laptop!

Buyer's feedback: - * Satisfactory ...
It was the wrong color than what I was supposed to receive. It said that I had a USB connection but the one I received didn't.

Buyer's feedback: - You can LISTEN to your recordings on your iPOD. Nice Recorder with EXTRAS =)
This is a great recorder and the best part is you can transfer your recordings to your PC computer, send them to a blank CD, and even listen 2 it on your iPod. I needed this for class as i can barely stay awake when class is in session so this was the best thing for me and Amazon has it such a nice affordable price (Of course 20 bucks lower wouldnt hurt either lol). You dont have to be sitting right next to the person your recording to pick up everything as it picks up very well even at a far distance. Just check your settings for the best options that suit you. Very user friendly and very dependable. Im so glad this device is getting me an A in all my classes and the best part is the recordings are all on my iPod 4 me to listen to whenever i need to study or take notes that i didnt when class was in session. Only reason for the 4 star rating was because Amazon sent me the 4100 regular and not the 4100PC which is the version you should get if you plan to save this to your computer or listen to it on your iPod. As soon as i called the correct replacement was sent, but poor amazon needs to work on inventory as an extra bar code sticker was added on the 4100 to state its a 4100PC when its not. Enjoy this thing cause i found it soooo handy.

Buyer's feedback: - * Decent ...
you really need to be close to the person speaking, or aim it at a speaker if they're being boosted by microphone. Yes, the software to transfer the files is slow, but that's because they're wave files which are larger and better quality sound than mp3.
