How many hours of audio will the card hold?

The VP83F doesn't come with a microSD card, so the audio recording time depends on the size of card you purchase. According to the user guide (pg.8) it uses ~1 GB every 2hrs of recording time, so a 16GB card will hold about 32hrs of audio.

I have a 4 gig card in mine which isn't even half full. We took a trip of over 20 hours and didn't hear the same song twice. However, it doesn't handle subfiles well so we tend to just let it play. For the money, it's a good value.

The recording depend the battery and you Card Space. In Case the Battery 30 minutes aprox.

I haven't timed the duration of the recording, but after an estimated 2 hours ether the battery died or my card was full. I believe I was using a 2, 4 or 8 GB card. I believe it will record continuous if left plugged in.

That pretty much depends on the size of the memory card you buy, and how much battery life you have. I imagine you could get 8 hours in one go, if you got the right accessories.

Long enough for it not to be an issue. I used the iXY Rode Mic for set sound recently. I got five hours worth of set sound and it could have gone longer had i needed it to.

Internal as far as I know. I have a little over 4 GB of audio on mine now and it is showing I have over 3 gb left.

I'm not sure if I can answer the clock question properly - it has a 400 MHz Internal DAC (per the driver properties). The height of the card only takes up 1 slot space.

I added a 32 G card and have over 4,000 songs with plenty of space left. If you download a lot of your music you will notice a difference in volume from song to song. But I have not had a problem with volume on mine but try difference headphones as sometimes that will make a difference. My only fault is boot up time is sometimes very long, like several minutes if the unit has been off for a while.

This depends on your sample rate and de bith depth but for a recording of WAV 16Bit/ 44.1kHz a 2GB recording makes it 6hrs 45min recording. I find it enough. A stereo on the same format will last 3H 22minA 24Bit 48kHz on stereo will last 2h04min

I am currently using a 8gb. Sandisc chip. And thats just music. And that has been working fine.

I would recommend this card no matter what. It is 25$ and it was a huge improvement over my onboard sound (although I bought my computer in 2007). I have no idea about the headphone situation though.

That's right, you don't need them anymore for decent audio & video. If you want to use the machine for intensive gaming or video editing or something, obviously you'd want to add a card.

One of my music tech professors said about 2 years, but of course he is a audio expert, not exactly a computer expert. I had my 320 GB passport for 10 months now which I use everyday and never had problems, but I don't know for sure how long it will last though, so I definitely would suggest a backup.

32 gb card each time 1280 x720p can record: 5.1-5.1 hours 1920 x1080p can record: 4.5-4.8 H hours

I used an 8 GB card and found that it holds about 100 minutes before it records over or loops. I have mine set for 1080 p HD to eliminate interference from unknown sources, and have it set for 10 min segments.
