(Office Product) The recordered has some nice features, like being able to select "folders" that you want to record the sessions into. However, the sound is recordered in a proprietary sony format. You need to download software to make Media Player play it. What makes things really annoying is there is no clean method by which you can save it into a "normal" format for sharing with other people. Why on earth didn't Sony use WAV or MP3 format is beyond my comprehension.
Recording quality is decent when you are within 6 feet of a person and have the recorder in plain view. However, if you are further away and want to keep the discrete (like in your pocket) the sound quality is terrible. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sony ICDU60 - 512MB Digital Voice Recorder w/ MP3 & Storage Device. (Office Product) 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. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Sony ICDU60 - 512MB Digital Voice Recorder w/ MP3 & Storage Device. (Office Product) 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? |
