I personally like Voice Recording/Playing very much. The built-in microphone catches much more than I expected, I used it even in a 4 hour court hearing and got a "digital transcript". Astonishing, a whispered testemoniy which was almost not to hear over a distance of 18 feet was recorded perfectly.
Downloading files TO and FROM the Techno Yepp is fast and easy using the Yepp Explorer Software or Realjukebox, both to install from the CD-ROM disk. Yepp Explorer is just how a software should be: Load it - use it - period .... but make sure Techno Yepp is connected because Explorer will look for!
The Remote control with FM radio receiver that has 5 presets is a nice "add on" but should be called "FM radio receiver" and not more. It's true, you can control Techno Yepp with all the buttons on this hexagonal shaped FM radio and you may even show-off with the backlight LCD, but all these, FM radio tuner and backlight are powered from the two AAA batteries located in the Techno Yepp. I would rather like to have a lower price or more built-in memory instead of this FM radio which will eat up the AAA batteries faster. But for a hiker or bicyclist the remote control unit may be very useful (also as an "extension cord" for the quite short earphone cable).A free Tip about "Setting the Modes": This can be done with the Remote Controller only for REPeats - ALL - SHUffle - INTro. So, this FM radio tuner is a "Mode Setter" too and in case you set mode INTro (enables you to repeat the first second of the tracks saved) you MUST use the Remote Controller to playback a more than 10 seconds.
Most of all I like the ergonomic design of the Techno Yepp. I can hold it in my left hand and operate all the functions easily. Feels good - looks good - sounds good. I would buy it again.
