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

Yes, it can. A simple push of a button toggles the audio record option on and off.

I haven't tried to use it for that, so I don't know. I use it to record local sports reports for a radio station.

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

Yes and yes. Also, depending on the quality you have the recording set to, it will record the radio at the quality.

Yes it records audio although the sensitivity of the microphone is a little low. It will record conversations, radio noise and traffic noise or loud choice comments about fellow drivers.

I would think so. I have used my unit in professional recording for a radio broadcast. However, I cannot speak to how well the microphone can record sounds from a distance.

I have been using it for months now and it records per minutes totaling to 60 minutes. Not continuous. You may need more memory.

I bought it for its digital recording capabilities, to take oral histories from family members. I don't know about radio listening capabilities; the packaging does not list this feature, although it may be able to record a radio broadcast.

No, it is a MP3 *player*/radio. It doesn't say anything about recording. If you want to record from this radio, you might search for a recording device and a cable to plug it in to the stereo headphone output.

Does anyone have an answer because I'd like to use it to record concerts and sometimes they can go upwards to 2- 2 1/2 hours long

No. I just looked through the entire manual and there is no timed recording available for any input. Also, you must have headphones plugged in to use the radio -- it uses the headphone cord as the FM antenna.If the radio program you are interested in has a stream available, you might be able to record it on a PC with something like Applian's Replay Media Catcher.

A recordable CD holds just shy of 80 minutes of recording time. The main reason I returned the ION was because after about one hour of recording, the unit would lose its' memory, and the CD could not be finalized. Good luck!!!!

Have not tried it myself but no you can record a CD or radio program to a tape only with this unit according to the instruction sheet.

It does have. One thing I don't like is that it can record up to 30 minutes at a time. So if you want to record longer than that, you need to stop at 30 minutes point (or automatically stops) and restart the recording.
