Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICDSX46 - 128MB Digital Voice Recorder w/ MP3 Playback

Customer Review: Returned
Summary: 1 Stars

I should have read these reviews before purchasing. The stick is very small, the directions are extremely lengthy and not incredibly user-friendly. However, I could have made it work, EXCEPT for the huge fact that the hardware does not save files in an MP3 format or any format that is compressed and/or easily transferrable to CD. Also, it does not allow you to tag data once saved. It assigns its own tags, which work okay unless your have more than 2 or 3 files saved. No thanks, this is going back.

Customer Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this recorder for my daughter to take to her college courses. It has been a great help to her. It is easy to use and to interface with her laptop. She loves it.

Customer Review: good, but
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a good voice recorder with lots of useful functions.

The problem is Mac incompatibility. It is amazing that Sony wouldn't develop a way around this.

Customer Review: Too small but software works great.
Summary: 2 Stars

This recorder is just to small. Its hard to get through the menu options and hard to use the buttons. The software and the USB interface works great. The reception range is limited and the play back quality is not very good. I guess if all you wanted was something real small it would be OK, but it just is not user friendly.

Customer Review: Good sound in a small package
Summary: 3 Stars

The sound quality is excellent and noise discrimination (separation of background noise from voices) makes taking notes or interviews with noisy backgrounds much better than anything else I have used.

The only fault, and for me is ridiculous, is that Sony adopted a file format that will only function with windows. This makes it impossible to back up files on a computer that does not run Windows. It seems hard to imagine that they would have done this when there are numerous file formats that can be read by nearly anything.
