highly recommended

Good performance for bargain price

Great deal -- recorder has 2 speeds, is easy to use, compact, and records/plays back well.

Good for voice note, not that good for music practice

So-so for me.

I would have given it 5 stars if I use it only for voice note. It does what it is supposed to, and it does it well.

However, it didn't work well for my daughter's violin lesson. The idea was she records herself and/or her teacher, and later she plays along with the recorded thing for practice.

The problem is, the recorded notes sound always a bit higher than originally played on the instrument. I guess the tape speed is faster when playing back than when recording, for some reason. Maybe you wouldn't notice at first, but as soon as you try to play along with the tape it becomes apparent.

Probably I was hoping too much for an inexpensive microcasette recorder, though. I wouldn't blame the manufacturer.

Does what I want it to! That's all that matters!

I am a musician, and I own an eight track digital recorder for completed musical ideas, but sometimes i wake up at night with a vocal or lyrical idea that i just don't want to forget. I can keep this handy little recorder by my bed, that way i won't forget my great ideas. This product does what i want it to do, it helps me get my ideas out so that I don't forget them the next day. I heard that the idea for the opening riff for "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones was recorded as Keith Richards awoke with an idea in his head. It has been said that all that could be heard on the rest of the tape is Keith snoring! lol!! this may not be that very recorder, but it'll do fine by me.
