Sony ICDP320 - 64MB Digital Voice Recorder w/ PC conectivity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a liberal arts student, and I purchased this recorder for two reasons+
1. to record lectures
2. to dictate papers

In recording lectures this recorder is perfect.There are not too many buttons, which makes for ease of pulling it out of my bookbag and pressing record.That's it, no tricky set up.The quality is good, but I leave it on the high quality recording option.It is very small, so it is easy to tote around, slip in your pocket, and is unobrusive. If you are in a large seminar it is small enough to set on the corner of your desk without getting in your way.
I also love that there is no need to switch tapes during a lecture, it has alleviated all tape recorder related worry.

The software that comes with it is very easy to use, and allows you to save the audio file in many different formats.I usually save it in a .wav file, so I can load it onto my ipod, or burn it onto a cd.That is a wonderful advantage to this recorder, no more annoying tapes to deal with, now I load my lectures onto my ipod, and off I go.

There are a few things I don't like about this recorder.Batteries DO NOT last long, I would recommend investing in a few of the long life rechargeable batteries.With regular batteries I got about 5 hours of record time, with the rechargeable ones I have gotten 7+ hours and have much more to go.
Also, playback on the recorder itself is not very good at all, I have to put the files on the computer before I can understand them, and that can be annoying at times.

Another thing that is a bit annoying is the time/date feature.Everytime you change the batteries, while it does not erase the files on the recorder it does erase the time/date stamp.It is bothersome to have to reset them everytime.

Overall, if you don't have the money to spend on a really fancy digital recorder, this is the one to get.Not too many bells and whistles, but very easy to use, and very practical.
