"Awesome Recorder/mp3 player!!!!"

by TheSwee on September 25, 2007

Pros: Everything

Cons: Just one thing - you can't select a song while another one is playing
Summary: TO CLARIFY: I bought the ws-321m, the 1gb version of this recorder, but everything, literally everything, is the same, except for the storage capacity. The instruction manual it comes with even says that it's for the 300m (256mb), the 311m (512), and the 321m (1gb).
So.....this thing is awesome! It's very easy to learn how to use and use, and it's really small and lightweight. The music is surprisingly rich in sound when you play it through earphones. It even sounds good when you play it off the speaker, though understandably not as rich. It has bass and equalizers, etc. The one problem, which is really minor, is that I haven;t been able to find a way to search through the library while I'm listening to a song, because the button you press to go through folders normally serves a different function when the music is playing. So, you have to stop the song and then go to the folder/song from there. But it's not such a big deal.
Very cool features: Of course, the USB immediate connectivity with no cables and the cool factor of popping the piece off and sliding it right into your computer cannot be understated and goes without saying.
But the index marks feature is quite useful as well - you can actually set markers down wither while you're recording or when you're listening to the playback (even during a song) and quick skip back and forth to them as you desire.
Oh, and recording quality is great and awesome.
All in all, an extremely nifty little recorder and I'm EXTREMELY happy with my purchase.
