 - Olympus VN-4100PC Digital voice recorderI am really happy with the product. The best thing is it captures music or lecture clearly even it is a bit far away from the source. The recording comes out pretty clear and it is not very expensive. I use it for my music class or recording performances for reference purposes. Rating:  - GREAT DIGITAL RECORDERThe digital recorder is really compact so i can slip it in my purse and carry it anywhere. It has 4 folders that allows me to easily organize my files and later transfer it to my laptop using the USB cord provided. The voice quality is also really good and I can have good recordings even if the professor is at the other side of the lab (room for 35-40 students). Rating: - Great Compact Olympus Digital RecorderThis VN-4100PC is my first digital recorder. It's of compact size, which fits easily in my (small female) hand. (No strap is provided, but there are holes to thread a strap.) It's very simple to use. I used the recorder to tape lectures, conversations and notes to myself. At a workshop, I sat towards the back of a hotel conference room and the recorder captured the speaker's voice from the ceiling speakers (about 12 feet overhead). The recordings were clear and audible. There are four folders, which I use to designate for different recording sessions, i.e., Folder A for "To Do" or notes to myself. What I like most is the ability to download the recordings to a PC. This is a good buy for the price and usage. Rating: - Good if you use the high quality settingI used this mainly for my singing class. It works well and captures all the notes during singing (with piano accompaniment), but only if I use the highest quality setting and the high mic setting. The lower settings are crappy, however. The recording is all garbled and the sound cracks a lot, I couldn't even tell what the speaker was saying/singing. I tried using it for normal lecture too, but that didn't work so well, even under high setting. But it could be because my teacher was soft-spoken (or maybe it's because we're scattered all over the classroom). The software works fine with Vista, too. The only downside is you can't choose which files to upload to your computer. It will upload everything on the folder you've chosen, even if you've uploaded that file before. And uploading takes a long time. Rating:  - Not if you have a MacintoshThe quality of the recorder is fair, but not great. Transfer speed/quality is okay. Will not recognize Mac OS 10, so I have to switch my Mac to Windows mode, download the files and then switch back. The Mac has no problem playing the downloaded files.
