Just what you need in a portable digital recorder

Once I've got pen and paper, I often find myself driving or lying down alone with a bunch of ideas (I like to write like all productive people/intellectuals jot down their "ideas" and that's why I need a digital voice recorder I've never bought or even owned one before this Olympus model I quickly realized that Olympus was the Mercedes of digital I compared voice recorders prices and specs then I quickly realized that the best benchmark for a savvy buyer for this type of device is the price The

Pretty cute little spy gadget

I won't go into details like some other reviewers, except that the designers of this product seem smart enough to know that some buyers are using it to spy on people (which of course you never do should do). You can turn off the beeps and lights for silent operation, and program it to turn on automatically when it hears someone speaking. Recording and battery life are excellent. The built-in microphone isn't professional quality, but it's actually a bit better than expected. As long as thereโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 512MB onboard memory

I might have had a lemon

First I had a VN3100, then I switched to a VN4100PC, both very decent units. When I saw the VN5200PC with more memory and a slightly better feature set, I thought this would be the one for me!

Pros
  • HQ, SP & LP WMA monaural recording
Cons
  • Some little things

Olympus VN-5200PC - nice little package

available Update 07/17/2009: Olympus has this new just presented digital voice recorder Olympus VN-6200PC. The VN-6200PC is identical to the VN-5200PC in terms of features and capabilities, but now has twice the memory, 1GB, at the same recommended price as the VN-5200PC. My VN-5200PC is great, but the VN-6200PC should be even better! If you are looking for a high quality, affordable digital mono voice recorder that easily records Windows Media Audio (WMA) files and quickly transfers them toโ€ฆ

  • Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista (default installation) Macintosh Mac OS X 10.2.8 "Jaguar" 10.5 "Leopard"
