The best recorder! The best for portable audio and video

I've been using dictaphones since the cassette days. Then microcassette, then digital. I had 8 or 10 digital recorders. I use them so often, they just wear out! And I always bought Olympus. Yes, I tried Panasonic and also Sony, they just didn't do what I wanted. After reading the description of this particular recorder, I thought it wasn't "bloated" enough in terms of capabilities. But then I thought about how I actually use it and came to the conclusion that I will give it a try. Well let me…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Does exactly what I need.

The Olympus VN-541PC is small and light and does exactly what I need. It records my voice for notes without distracting me from driving. I can easily reach for it, find it, find the REC button and slide it to the ON position, and in about 1.5 seconds it's all recorded. It notifies you with a soft beep. I don't have to take my eyes off the road for a moment. It's also easy to work in total darkness, for example when I wake up in the middle of the night and need to write down a thought or dream…

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • functionality

conflicting information on Mac Apple compatibility - I have MacBook Air early 2015

, when I was looking for Mac or Apple reviews and questions I saw some people say yes it's compatible! and others who give one star say it's not compatible. Well I ONLY opened it up, did a quick test write and then plugged it into my MacBook Air. This recorder's icon appeared on my desktop, I found and opened the file and it is in m4a format which is not compatible with Apple's fast time. But then you can just 'convert m4a to mp3' or google any format if you don't want mp3 and you will see many

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
