 Very Poor Sound Quality May 31, 2008

I bought this because of the Sony name, and am regretting it now -- the sound quality is horrible. I'm a med student and use it to record lectures -- the sound quality is so bad I can't understand the lecturer.
Exclusive, not Mac compatible, Sony failed December 26, 2007

Proprietary format and although it is a FAT16 flash drive when plugged into a PC, for some reason it cannot be seen on a Mac. Sony exclusivity is a big mistake. Don't buy this -- it will just be a big hassle trying to read, process, share the files. (You might smash it with a sledge hammer and send to sony with a note.)
The buttons, layout, etc are nice -- typical of Sony -- and solid, well made, although the unit is big by current standards. 1 AAA battery.
As an external drive ("storange device"), it is useless as it is not Mac compatible.

I was excited about some of the features of this product, along with the price for what's offered. (Said features stopped me from giving this a 1-star rating.) Unfortunately, the sound quality is HORRIBLE compared to others I've heard, many of which are less expensive. And the format of the created file isn't very versatile either. Such a shame... Save your money for a different product. Sony, what's up?
NOT MAC COMPATIBLE - must own a PC October 17, 2007

So aggrevated there aren't more voice recorders on the market that are mac compatible like those that are pc compatible! The direct USB is a nice feature but you HAVE to have the software installed on your PC in order for your computer to even detect anything is plugged in. Argh. I wouldn't have bought this item if I had read these Amazon reviews first. There is guaranteed a better product all-around for your needs.
Sound quality extremely bad compared to competition July 21, 2007

I bought this recorder 10 months ago. Afterwards I have had many devices with voice recording ability and this is my ranking of the sound quality.
1. edirol r-9 field recorder
2. iriver T-10 mp3 player
3. Olympus ws-320 voice recorder
4. Sony icdu 60 voice recorder
The sony recorder is actually very bad compared to the other devices, also the iriver mp3 player that is about the same size. The sound quality is amazingly bad and is a misuse of the sony name.
