"Super Recorder"
Pros: External audio recording even from external mic;Good readability; decent controls;Good size
Cons: menu a little difficult to learn; cases are hard to get unit into; does not function as external drive
Summary: I bought this unit specifically because it outshines all others that I read about with external recording capabilities. The clincher was it's ability to adjust recording levels of the external source. I liked that the mp3 encoding rate for the voice recording option was adjustable and that it will allow the external signal to be line or mic level. The management software was quite usable and even let's you program the FM tuner presets. I bought this 3 days ago, and there was a firmware upgrade to enhance current functions and add a new one. The size of the unit is such that you won't quickly loose it, but slips into a pocket comfortably.
I will be using the unit to record live sound for CD burning and web publishing, which I had been doing by converting tape to digital audio via computer.
