If all you want is an easy to use voice recorder that's inexpensive and doesn't have to sound good for music, this is it. I've only had this for a couple of days, so if it lasts for a year, it'll be a bargain. However, as compared to my tape recorder, it is vastly superior in every way.

No complaints at all. Origionally bought this to bring to parent teacher conferences, however, my wife used this at the toy store she manages for some EVP work due to suspicion of a new haunting by a recently deceased co worker.

anyways, the thing picks up every pop, bazng, scratch, and voice. Excellent product, works great for meetings as well, the software is intuitive and flexable.

I purchased this recorder as I have 2 previous panasonic versions recorders. Right off the bat you need to know its Window Vista not XP compliant. Unlike previous RR US360 recorders playback thru its little speaker is very tinny and distorts very quickly. Yes its thiner and the plus is that there is a pause in the record mode and more on board recording time. As for the covert placment in the pocket to record conversations the zoom setting I have not tried. Previous versions RR US360 that I now have 2 of are fantastic. Ive recorded pipe organs and weddings with the RRUS360 and found great sound quality. I have one on my phone line to record voicemails and customer contracts and once again this new unit has the bells and whistles for that. With proper cables I transfer (record) chapters from audio book ipod files. Get rechargable batteries. On the RRUS360 you can record a complete day of work converstions on one set of battries. I am presently purchaseing as many of the XP compliant RRUS360 units I can find however people who have them are not selling them because they are great tools. If you have Vista I would consider this new unit a buy, but not a strong buy.

I AM SURE THAT THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT, HOWEVER,I TESTED THE RECORDING AND STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PLAYBACK WHAT i RECORDED. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE IT OUT.
