Recorder worked great

I bought this recorder to use at a quitar camp and it did everything I wanted it to do. I was able to record 4 lessons a day for 4 days before I had to replace the batteries. There was plenty of memory left. I was able to easily store the lessons in one of 4 seperate folders and it was simple to find each lesson again. When I got home it was easy to transfer all the files to my computer and access them. The sound quality wasn't great, but for such a small and simple recorder it was certainly good enough. I was very pleased.

Great value for the price!

This little voice recorder is an amazing value for the price you pay for it. Yes, the material is low-quality, but for how much it costs, it's surprising that's the only thing bad about this product. It records great, has more than enough memory for everyday use, and transfers onto your computer like a charm. Very easy to use and very reliable. Perfect for recording lectures in class!

GREAT BUY!

Great product!

This product is amazing. I use it for various things and its so easy to use. I would recommend this to everyone. Its very sensative when recording and it will pick up everything around...even the sound of the AC in a house.

Perfect fit

I narrowed my needs down to the following:

1) Good playback sound
2) Not pay an arm and a leg!

OK - there are certain aspects that could be better. But for my criteria this was a perfect fit. I needed it to record for voice lessons. Works great!

Most Excellent Recorder, but practically speaking ...

I am a writer of proposals and books. I am also a business coach, so I record people often. The VN-4100PC is an excellent recorder in my opinion. Whether I am on a noisy commuter bus or train and leaving voice notes for myself, in a large conference room (600 sq ft) recording meetings, or recording telephone conversations, the recording quality is quite impressive. I also really like the ability to transfer the files to my computer. From there it can be transferred to other, more useful formats.

My only complaint about the device isn't about the device at all, but its lack of protection. I have not been able to find a decent carrying case for it anywhere. There is nothing more frustrating than getting home at the end of the day, taking the recorder out of my pocket - shirt, slacks, or sport coat - and finding that I recorded hours of dead air because I accidentally brushed up against it and it started recording 3, 4, or more times in a day, sometimes for hours at a time. When the battery dies because the majority of recording time was useless dead air, that's really frustrating.

But like I said before, the VN-4100 PC is an excellent device, and which I would love to recommend highly. Now show me the carrying case and it will be a complete package.
