This one has not been used to record MP3, only voice. According to the manual, recording MP3 is possible.

Hello, I use it for my radio program, and I do believe it would be rather costly for just conversaitons. This is a great recorder very clear.

Steve, the recording quality was very bad and we ended up returning the unit. My older sister has an immense album collection we want to convert but we are still looking for a good quality converter and have yet to find one. This has been some years now since we started looking. good luck mc

http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/21/zoom-brings-stereo-audio-to-q3-pocket-camcorder/ I own the Zoom MP3 recorder, and I've been very happy with the recordings of my performances/recitals, so I'm probably going to investigate their camcorder. Here's the review: "Zoom brings stereo audio to Q3 pocket camcorder, by Darren Murph posted Jul 21st 2009 at 8:49AM: While those into good sound likely warmed to Zoom's H4n Handy Recorder back at CES, the Samson Technologies-owned company has just switched the game up on us with its newfangled Q3 Handy Video Recorder. As the product name implies, it's the first pocket camcorder to hit the market with such a serious focus on good sound, packing a directional, dual condenser microphone setup that enables shooters to capture clips at 24-bit/48 kHz while even focusing the mics on the sound source. The camcorder itself can log clips at an uninspiring 640 x 480 (30fps), while a pair of AA batteries gives you around two hours of life. There's also a 2.4-inch LCD, a bundled 32GB SD card (holds 16 hours of footage), a built-in speaker for previews, TV output, a tripod mount and USB 2.0 connectivity. If this bad boy did 720p, we'd be handing over our $249 with a heart full of thanks. Full release is after the break."

I bought this particular DVD several months ago and am more than satisfied. As a matter of fact, I placed a new order of the same just days ago. However, they are recommended in the Owner's Manual of my recorder. You may be better helped by simply calling the company of your recording unit to discuss your problem. Good luck, Lynne.

Hi Paula,BTW, the Sangean DAR-101 is more than just a telephone recorder, it is a high quality MP3 stereo recorder with line inputs and built in microphones. It even has a timer function so you can record any audio program at any time of the day. I suggest you return the unit you have (if you can) and get this one. You'll love it! Read the reviews.

Nope, as you probably know already Olympus funked up on this one... The only way to extract audio recordings from this is to get a male-to-male headphone cord, plug it into the ear output, and then connect the other end of the cord to a PC or other device capable of in-line recording the output. You would be better off spending your money elsewhere on a device with a USB plug if you can help it.

I've used it at board meeting at times but the mike I've used and is incredibly good is the Olympus ME-51S Stereo Microphone. Yes it cost more but at a board meeting with someone sitting almost 30 feet away I still get a good recording, I just turn the volume up a bit.

Amazon still has Pioneer Inno XM2GO portable radios, new and used, for sale, and you can record on them beingthat they are indeed in MP3 format. There are still some very good used deals available if you want to save some cash.

Where does your audio come from? You can put it near a speaker to record that. When I want to record something on speakerphone, I take it out of my ear and lay it on the telephone speaker. It records that well and also records my voice if I speak out loud into the speakerphone. If the online training is on your PC, couldn't you record the audio directly?

Series 3, which will allow for digital channel recording, will start out at a much higher price than ~$200 (some say from $500~$700). So shop with you wallet in mind. You can check out tivocommunity.com for more details (speculation).

Ya... I bought the Sony ECMCS3 Clip style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone Sony ECMCS3 Clip style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone for $27.95, and got the 3.5mm StereoTRRS 4-Pole M to TRS Jack Microphone to iPhone Adapter 3.5mm StereoTRRS 4-Pole M to TRS Jack Microphone to iPhone Adapter for another $20.00... I saved $10 dollars at the end of the day and the quality was much better on the Sony. You can just try any of the other cheap lavalier mics with that adapter above and probably save yourself even more. I'm returning this ASAP... Ya...

Read the reviews ofr Belkin TuneTalk. Was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative recorder that works well with lectures and has a long battery life, for reasonable student price?

to me it is a hit and miss on the olympus ME-51S stereo Mic. I used it on my Gopro hero 2 and had problems with it recording. I might have gotten a bad unit. I have not tried the ME51S on any other devices/recorders that I have but I will try it some time in the future.

I know that it will layered recording for musicians, but I am not sure about the multiple files aspect for dictation.I had to return mine because Olympus didn't have the voice guidance feature on that model and as a blind person, that made it a bit hard to operate.Hoping you are able to find that out. It is an excellent stereo digital recorder for sure.If they had put the voice guidance feature on that unit I would have kept it or sure.

If you want to record lectures try the Sony TCM200DV which uses tapes. I used it for one of my lectures and found that using the tapes and storing them without needing to download into a computer was a breeze. All my friends who used the digital recorders had problems but this recorder helped me pass. If you buy the 90 min. tapes the machine can double the time. Sensitivity is excellent. It runs about $35 and there is even a more expensive $45 older model. I just labeled the tapes and if there was a lecture I wanted to hear again it was no problem. I know you are keen on the digital but to me, recording and then downloading into a computer was a drag. Aside from that if there is a problem with the computer your recordings are gone. I know this didn't answer your question but it might help.

This is a phenomenal digital recorder. I took it for a consulting job in Africa and recorded 35 hours of music and voice interviews. Excellent quality recordings. Often the recording was hand held. No noticeable extraneous sound from holding the unit. If I misunderstood the question, please clarify further. I'd be happy to help.
