 Working with my banjo September 1, 2010
Philip Levine (New York)
I looked through all the reviews and could not find anyone who bought this to practice and critique their playing of a musical instrument. But the reviews were positive enough and the price was not a deal breaker, so I gave it a try. I play the banjo and need to hear what I sound like so I can correct playing errors. And I wanted something simple and easy to operate. This baby fits the bill. I don't even bother with the folders or transferring stuff to my computer. I just play some tune and then play it back with ear buds on. Then I delete it and do it all over again. I also intend to take it to my lessons. I'm happy with it for sure.
Does 128k mp3s and easy to use September 1, 2010

I bought this to replace my older digital voice recorder. I needed one that does mp3s, because my blackberry recording quality is rather subpar. When I first got this, my impression was the plastic made it look rather cheap. It was also fairly light in weight, so doesn't have much mass.
After working with it in the HQ 128kbps mode, I'm quite pleased. I can only imagine the 192k SHQ setting. I copied over a 320k mp3 from my computer and this was able to play it back no problem so it is an mp3 player as well. I tested with a headset mic, and found it's own internal mic to be better. I enabled a function called n-cut that filters out background noises that are outside the typical human vocal range. It filtered out the sound of a fan in the room quite nicely.
When I copied over an mp3 recording to my computer, and listened with headphones, I must say the quality is much better than I expected from a $50 device. I'm going to be using this to make podcasts regarding different processes of how I do things. Some of them will be 30 mins or more.
This recorder is easy to use, even at night in the dark when I get some last minute thoughts I need to document. Makes it much easier than having to get up to the computer. It has an indicator light that is red when recording, and green when playing back. The red light flashes when on pause. So even in the dark I can know which mode I'm in.
I carry this around with me everywhere, because you never know when inspiration strikes. I haven't compared really any other digital voice recorders except another one I had, and the blackberry which isn't really made for that purpose. In short, I am very pleased with this. I've used it for around a week now. I'm sure many other recorders would have done the job as well, but the sound quality is much better than I expected. 128k for the 2nd best quality setting is impressive. Considering I'll be downsampling to 64k when I publish my podcasts.
At the 128k setting, I get around 35 hours of recording time. Haven't tested with the 192k setting though. It has 2GB capacity as far as I'm aware. I read it can record stereo with the right adapter, but for voice, mono is ideal. I can always mix later into stereo background audio if I need.
The only con I would have would be somewhat cheap look on the plastic. Though it does feel solid. But then again, most digital voice recorders I've seen are plastic. Takes 2 triple-A batteries. Not sure how long battery life is, as I'm still on full power after doing maybe 30 mins to an hour of recordings so far.
Really easy to use August 29, 2010

This little recorder has amazing sound quality for voice recording. It's easy to use, and I am SO challenged with anything electronic. It's small size is easy to slip into a pocket. There is also a lot of memory. I love it.
Easy to record, easy to save MP3s to computer August 22, 2010

The Sony ICD-PX820 recorder is very easy to use. You start recording with a push of a button, you stop it with a push of another button. Each recording segment is saved into a separate MP3 file. When you connect the recorder to a computer via the provided USB cord, you see a directory with MP3 files, which you can manage as you need. Very convenient, very easy.
Really good for journalists August 21, 2010

This thing works really well. It's particularly good for journalists because it has 5 different folders for you if you need to work on many stories at once, or anyone who is doingmore then one thing with it.
