 Overpriced but good product November 12, 2007

I found it $14 cheaper at Office Max two days after I got the package and started using it. The product is very nice - I can pick up voices from across the room clearly. Too easy to record over when you don't want to do so, but you can move the recording to a separate folder and return back to the original folder to avoid it. Carry extra batteries!
 Great!!! November 10, 2007

I bought this product for voice recording. It works very well. The quality of voice recording is great (I haven't tried music recording). The software is very easy to use.
 May be good, but Sony's sales policy is horrible October 29, 2007

Sony may make good products, but when they renew a product, they don't always follow up on their former products and these may become useless.
I bought a Sony ICD-R100 voice recorder when it was one of their most advanced products. It connected to my PC with a special connection cable so that I could transfer sound files easily. PCs changed, USB became generalized and the Sony cable didn't fit to my new PC. Sony didn't do anything to update hardware or software. They just wanted me to buy a new voice recorder.
I think this is bad sales policy, and I recommend that you buy a product from a company that does not force you to buy new products all the time.
this one, not so much October 28, 2007

I bought this recorder as a quick replacement after I lost my Olympus on a trip. The Olympus was so much better for my use. As a student, I like to record lectures and notes and burn CD's to review as I drive. The trouble with the Sony is the complicated software that comes with it. Sony corp is so concerned about music rights that they have made it a nightmare for the user to burn CDs from recordings that they have made themselves. Forget drag and drop into your your preferred software(like the Olympus.)With the Sony you must bow three times, kiss the ground and use their proprietary burn program and format--with no guarantees that the CD will play back on you chosen CD player. On the up side, the sound quality is very good for such a small recorder. Its just a real clunker once you try to do anything more than record. I just ordered another Olympus.

Over the year's Ive used just about every VOX operated recording device that was available. Ive even used High Quality VCR's to make audio recording's, but this little gem is T H E E very best recorder I could ever dream of. I do alot of recording's of what our local law enforcement officer's deal with during the over night hour's on my scanning radio's, and the most amazing capability of this Sony is in VOX mode it doe's NOT miss a single nanosecond of what's spoken.... The older micro - tape recorder's were notorious at not being responsive / sensitive enough when operated in this mode. Quality wise.... the Sony's audio reproduction is wonderful again. I literally opened the box, installed batteries, and away I went, it's that simple and intuitive to operate. I think approx 4-5 day's passed before I read the manual, and I only did that out of boredom in the "B-Room" if you get what I mean. Fit and finish is as alway's for anything Sony does from TV's to this little "P520" recorder....NOTHING BUT NICE. I whole heartedly feel very comfortable telling anyone looking for a very nice personal recording device that the Sony ICD-P520 IC recorder will NOT dissapoint anyone, I hope this review find's all of you and your families in good health and spirits....Respectfully, Frank in CT.
