Review on Sony ICDUX560BLK Digital Voice Recorder by Antonio Lemm

Attention Mac users. The file editing software that comes with this recorder is for Windows only, and the Mac version cannot be downloaded from Sony's support site. site. You don't need any software to transfer files back and forth, I was able to just move the files to my Macbook Pro. However, if you want variable speed playback, you'll need to find your own software or app. All this says that I really like this registrar. It's small but a good size for my needs and has a nice premium look. The menus are easy and intuitive to navigate. The display is clear and easy to read. I even learned to appreciate the built-in USB, although I was skeptical at first. Nice when that pesky USB cable isn't in the way (or lost). The sound quality of the recordings via headphones or external speakers is excellent. Playback quality on the recorder itself is less than impressive, but for what it is and for my purposes it's ok. Overall this is a really good recorder and I'm glad I bought it. Just know that as a Mac user you are on your own with the software.
