Review on Sony ICD-BX800 2GB Silver Digital Voice Recorder with Flash Memory by Lucas Salgado

Simpler is better these days. For me, this product is not so simple. Maybe I just didn't take the time to read and understand the instructions carefully. I bought it to record family histories for genealogical purposes. I figured (oh oh) that since it's digital I could hook it up to my computer and save the recordings. nope However, I did figure out how to do this using a patch cord from the headphone jack on the device to the microphone jack on my computer. phew! What I like: I've recorded in a variety of settings (noisy restaurants, quiet family rooms) and have not been disappointed with the quality. What I dislike: Complexity. The buttons are multifunctional and require reference to the instructions. (Maybe it would be easier if I used it more often.)
