Quick voice messages are a snap using the recorder's internal microphone. A high-quality stereo microphone (not included) will suffice for recording anything from live music to training seminars. The recordings can be played back through the onboard internal speaker, through the included earbud headphones, or through any home or car audio system using the appropriate cables.
The efficient WMA format provides over 30 hours of voice quality or up to four hours of near-CD-quality music. RipFlash can detect the "gap" between the tracks of a CD when recording, so each song on the CD is saved as an easily identifiable individual MP3 file. The unit is supplied with earbuds, a direct recording (line-in) interconnect, a USB cable, CD software, and an arm band/belt case.

I own a RipFlash Plus. I use it everyday and am glad I bought it. I am a reporter and I use my RipFlash Plus to interview people, record speeches, telephone interviews and listen to music. I spent months searching for a digital recorder that could do what the RipFlash can. I wanted something that: - could record voices clearly, - had a line in for microphones and phone taps, - could upload recorded files to my computer, - I could download my mp3 files to. Here are the things I like about the RipFlash Plus: It's attractive. The silver and black work are simple, the buttons are well placed and the black surface feels good. The size, shape and design are great. The case fits snugly and keeps the player protected. The buttons are responsive and still firm after 3 months of daily use and the little rubber USB cover is still going strong. The on-board microphone is excellent...Read more 89 of 93 people found the following review helpful: By Justin D. Held (Cincinnati, OH United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: RipFlash PLUS 128MB Digital MP3 Player with Voice Recorder (Electronics) If you read reviews for the standard RipFlash, you will find this problem as well. It will work...but it takes a lot of effort. Getting it up and running was a hassle, but I still have to give it four stars because the features are outstanding. More on that later...The manual is written in broken english, and the software on the CD is outdated. I suggest you ignore both, and go straight to their website for these items (as an aside: this thing is BRAND NEW on the market, why is it shipping with old wares?). E-mail tech support essentially claimed the incompatibility issues were my fault because I had SP1 installed. Why on Earth wouldn't I install SP1? When Microsoft releases service packs, especially ones that fix major security holes, people generally install them. Their solution was to remove everything I had installed from the CD (software & drivers), roll back my system, and download the new software from the website, which I did. I then had to replace every occurrence of...Read more 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful: By Guillaume (Montreal, Qc Canada) - See all my reviews This review is from: RipFlash PLUS 128MB Digital MP3 Player with Voice Recorder (Electronics) I got this MP3 player/recorder for a gift and it IS THE BEST. Like the review I haved read here, it is a bit difficult to install. Once the install issues passed (helped by the review talked about), it is a lot of fun to use. Very simple to manipulate and the sound quality is better than I immagined. It is not an home theater system, but for a "walkman", it's pretty good. I used it to record interviews so I would be able to retype them later, and the quality of playback is more than clear. It makes my day more enjoyable (more time to myself than taking notes). I had purchased a Sony MD-Player/recorder, for more than 600$, and I realize now that it can't give me half of what the ripflash-plus can give me. Just the fact that the MD-Player has an optical port, can't allow me to upload from the player to my computer. So I had to listen with my headphones an then transcribe to my computer. With the ripflash-plus, and the Red Dragon software (be aware that you need to instruct the...Read more |
