I ordered this product with the expectation to make quality recordings of karaoke performances.
The unit is simple enough to use but the finished product is lousy and you need to bury the volume control to hear your recording. I've tried every possible combination of connections and operations and nothing helps.
Also, I ordered this on ebay with a pre-arranged agreement with AceKaroke.com that I receive this by a certain date.
Not only didn't I get it by this date, they didn't ship it out until the day before I needed it. It was going from California to New York. You do the UPS math. I got it a week too late for what I ordered it for.
AceKaraoke agreed to allow me to refuse the shipment but I decided to keep it. Big mistake. I should have sent it back. Now the box is opened and I cannot return it.

This digital recorder will do the job and the price is reasonable. The only fault I've found so far is that I would like to have a level meter instead of just the light that shows when you are clipping. I did record about 70 minutes with a 4 gig thumb drive and it worked fine (it was about a 70 meg file). The instructions led me to believe it would only work on a 4 gig drive, but maybe that is all the recording space it can use. I have not tried larger ones.

Don't know why the previous reviewer had record problems. Our unit worked fine. Just make sure that your input signal is at line level, not mic level. One drawback to recording is that you cannot select different record quality settings. You just press record and it does its thing.
Playback quality is good with just a couple of inconveniences that should be noted. When 'Single' mode is selected, instead of stopping at the end and keeping the current track selected, the unit reverts to 'Folder' mode. This may not be an issue for you but is an inconvenience if you just want to go to the next track but not till you are ready. When you aren't in single mode the unit immediately jumps to the next track and starts playing (except at the end of the last folder). You may want to play the next track but not right away so you have to pause before the end of a track, then select 'next track'. With respect to that, the track timer cannot be set to count down. It only counts up. If you want to pause at the end of a track without jumping to the next track you have to know the track length.
Playback time on any single mp3 track is limited to 36 minutes and 48 seconds. Both sides of the unit exhibited the same behavior, playing independently and simultaneously. We tried different types and sizes of SD and SDHC cards, and it always did the same. At 36 minutes and 48 seconds into the track the unit halted playback. The counter froze and would not continue. I don't know if this applies to recording as well.
On the plus side, as mentioned, the playback quality was good. In an enclosed arena with 8000 in attendance the playback was clear and full sounding for both voice and music playback. The unit is also very easy to operate which is good for casual users.
Much more expensive units address the issues stated above but can also become much more complicated to use. This unit isn't bad for the price if you can live with the quirks.
