<p>Picked one up for D last year when she was a Sr in HS, she used it to record voice lessons and to hear what she sounds like. I can assert that its easy to use and works great. of course, if you have never really listened to recordings of your own voice, it can be difficult at first, as what you hear from the recorder isn’t quite what you hear in your head. She took the recorder off to college (Wright State MT), and I miss not having it around, it works great making MP3s from old LPs, just buy a cable from your Radio Shack, plug it in to your stereo system, and record away.</p>
<p>The only complaint that I have is that battery life is not that long, I usually only get about an hour from a pair of AA batteries, so you’ll need to get rechargeables and a charger.</p>
