How user friendly/easy is it to record from FM? Quality of recording?

I never could get the thing to interface with my system at all so I can't answer any specific questions

It is not difficult, my wife has used it to listen pre-recorded English class podcast

Unfortunately, i didn't get a chance to test that feature! It stopped working after a week and a half! It wouldn't charge anymore.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)

Yes, you will need a recording program. I use Audicity which is a free program and works great for all my recordings.

Sorry, no, but it sure would be nice! As far as I can tell from the instructions you can record onto a cassette from a CD or the radio. Set up or operating assistance can be found at 1-800-898-9020 or 1-800-695-0098 or email to: Internet@emersonradio.com

There are better options, it is a handy recorder and many functions, you are limited to one track at a time and bouncing is time consuming. If all you want is to record live performances or use as a quick writing tool, for the price it is good, it downloads in WAV format so it is a little outdated, but very portable, hope this helped.

This does record from the radio or ambient sounds. This is what I need if for and it does so adequately for my needs.

Edell, this is a player/recorder. I found that any source monitored thru it sounds very very crisp, in a good way. It has many features, most are user friendly. It has a remote and input for a computer keyboard, both of which I have not ventured yet. The set-ups I have used thus far have been using the face dials. Very easy. By the way, I received the 'bonus' 50-pack of CDRs, but they were strewn through out the box and rendered useless due to scratches.

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

Well, it did record my voice right in front of it, but I didn'thave time to try out other recordings, like room sounds,because the recorder snapped it's belt and now sits in the corner awaiting a part. Also, the FM antenna snapped off the first time I tried to pulled out, just before the tape recorder broke down. Good Luck!

Not at all. This is all digital. Just turn it on, and start recording. Best little digital recorder I have ever had.

Yes. Records all radio to .MP3. Make sure to update the firmware. 1.0 has menu/timed recording schedule bugs.

I tried it out today...FM radio sounds great. The player even has an "auto scan" option similar to seek in a car radio - it will automatically pick up all the stations that have good reception/audio quality and put them all in presets. This way you don't have to go through every decimal number (98.4, 98.5, 98.6,etc) looking for stations.

Personally, I use Adobe Audition, however that is pretty expensive. I would recommend any cheap recording program with 4 or more stars on Amazon.

This is just a radio, not a recorder. You could connect something to the earphone jack and record that way.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

It can - when you are listening to a station open the options menu and scroll to the very bottom and there's options for recording
