Buyer's feedback: - DO NOT BUY THIS
this broke after five uses. The support manual does not give any information for troubleshooting (trouble shooting only includes three descriptions of which all revolve around having the hold button on, or battery issues).

I have ERR on my screen, and there is no way to fix this.

All my notes are lost!!! There is no way to retrieve them via USB camble to my computer either.

This is the worst piece of junk I even bought.

Also, the four times I was able to listen to my recordings, the soud was so muffled and quiet that I could barely hear anything. This is despite the fact that I was sitting a mere three feet away (in plain ear shot) from the speaker I was recording.

This is an AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL product.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great recorder at a great price! ...
I'm an actor and, when it comes to learning lines, I've always done it with tape recorders: I record my cues, pause, then speak my line. This gives me a sense of pace for the scene and allows me to think faster and more precisely. After a few years of tape recorders, though, and an ever-shrinking apartment, I decided to go forgo actual tapes and enter the digital age.

One of the best features about this voice recorder is its organizational tool: you can record lots of files into a single folder (one of four) allowing, in my instance, for scene breakdowns. Navigation is intuitive and moving from file to file (scene to scene) is a cinch. With digital, there's no waiting to rewind or fast forward, and work has become very efficient.

My only critique (which is why I gave it a 4-star rating, instead of a full 5) is that, unlike most tape recorders, this device doesn't have a STANDBY button. The PLAY and STOP buttons are two separate buttons requiring thumb movement to toggle between the two. This becomes a bit cumbersome when I'm studying rapid dialogue or recording cues because I have to look at the device to see where to move my thumb to pause or to continue the recording. A single STANDBY button, to simply stop and start, would have been very useful.

Aside from this small criticism, I have nothing negative to say. The sound quality is great, its efficient use of battery life is excellent and the size is very convenient. I highly recommend this product.

Buyer's feedback: - A good purchase
I would have rated the seller with five stars but they sent the product without any instructional materials. All they sent was the device.
