Sony Digi Voice Recorder November 25, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Easy to use, read the manual for all the little features;
>>>Be sure to get rechargeable AAA batteries.<<<
Nice USB feature to store on your computer.
I bought a mini jack to XLR cable and use a Shure58 mic and it sounds cleaner to put musical ideas down. Plenty of space to record.
Finally, a recorder without tape mishaps. Thank you Amazon for these reviews, it really swung my decision toward the Sony.
Useful device November 21, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Sony P-520 is a useful and handy device for recording thoughts while I'm driving. I don't use all the features, because they are kind of non-intuitive, and the documentation isn't fun reading, exactly. But it does what I need, so I'm happy with it, and can recommend it.
A College Student's Review... November 21, 2007 22 out of 22 found this review helpful
I bought this to record my lectures and I was pleasantly surprised! It can hold up to 130 hours on the LP setting and 24 hours on HQ setting, which is nice if you go to lecture a few times a week.
I find that the recorder is very sensitive, so you might want to put a notebook or jacket underneath it - otherwise it'll pick up noises from you moving or someone walking by.
The recorder has 4 folders, which I use for separating my classes (that way you know which lecture is in which folder). The menu gives an option to display the time, date, how much recording time is left, or how many minutes you've recorded.
Also, the recorder comes with software and USB cable that's very easy to install and use. All you do is install the program, hook up the recorder to the PC and it'll download all your files! You even have an option of converting the files to mp3 wav. files.
One thing about the software, though: it doesn't run on Macs.
The battery that comes with the recorder will last for a while but if you use it a lot, I'd recommend rechargable batteries.
Overall, it's a very sturdy, neat recorder and it's very easy to use!
Just what I wanted November 21, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It was just what I wanted. The clarity is great and it is easy to use. I love that you can upload the recording and listen through your computer at higher volumes. I use it to record meetings and it does great, even in a larger room. I haven't found anything I don't like about it yet.
I love it. November 12, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Small but as usual [for me , anyway] a good Sony product.
Battery life is good and replay is very loud.
main fault for me is that it never goes off! That means though, that I'm always ready to record.
Never got software to work though. Not troubled enough yet to bother since it has a high storage capacity.
