Disadvantages: none

I bought this model recorder after much research last year to use for lectures at college. Worked great in small class settings. I inadvertantly left it in a classroom and it was stolen, but I liked it so well I immediately went out and purchased a replacement from C.C. I paid alot less on the second one and am extremely happy with the results. I dont use it for music and such, just for lectures at school. When I get home I then can download lectures ...
...in computer and relisten to at a later time. Great product. Really helped me out at school. In summary, this unit is great for the podcast listener who doesn't mind plugging in every day .The FF controls are effective to skip commercials in podcasts and you can set it down for an hour or a day and when you hit play, you pick-up where you left off. ...

Also it doesn't have a display screen like the next model up from it that does but, ... Read review
