🎙️ Recording Made Easy: Discover the Panasonic RR-US360 Digital Voice Recorder Review

That's really all there is to say. I bought it assuming it was in MP3 format like most recorders these days. I bought it specifically for recording ambient samples that I will use in my music. As there is no way to convert it to mp3 and Panasonic refuses to write software that allows this conversion, the product is completely useless to me. it comes with a recorder, you will be fine.

I bought this a few years ago. I expected it to be a simple machine that is easy to work with. That's true, but there are some features that are more complicated than they should be or that don't work properly. Working with the clock is routine work and pain. I use it a lot so when I change the battery I have to reset everything, date, time, it sounds right but it's not as easy as it looks. The dictation function is the biggest shortcoming.

If sound quality and features were the only thing that mattered, this product would probably be worth a 4 rating. It is relatively easy to use and records with quite good quality. Unfortunately, it suffers from several HUGE flaws that could have been a deal breaker if I had figured it out back then. First, although it uses a standard USB mini-plug, for some reason they've settled on a proprietary way of interacting with a computer, and to top it off, a proprietary audio file format. Finally…
