We purchased several of these for use in classrooms to record student responses. The teachers found it easy to get started and make recordings. It was easy to retrieve the MP3 files off of the device when using it as an attached device (like a flash drive or camera). However, the Sound Organizer software can only be run by an Administrator or Power User; it cannot be run by ordinary users. This is totally unacceptable in our environment.

Don't need the software? Great product!

By OpenCarrier

from MidWest

Comments about Sony Black 2GB Digital Voice Recorder:

The two controls I need are the 'record' button, and the 'hold' switch. The 'hold ' switch disables the other buttons so you don't accidentally stop or start recording. The device fits most of the way into the coin pocket on my jeans and can pick up conversations within 10 feet at normal speaking levels. I used Audacity, a free third-party audio editing software, to edit my recordings.

    Easy to follow instructions and setup.

    Like built in USB to transfer data.

    Would like to have had a security cord come with unit.

    Comments about Sony Black 2GB Digital Voice Recorder:

    Each recording becomes a file. I can download the files on my desktop and give each file a name, so it's easy to find later. Picks up even the soft voice well.

    Nice hardware, unusable software

    By DaChieftain

    from Auckland, NZ

    Comments about Sony Black 2GB Digital Voice Recorder:

    A digital voice recorder is the modern replacement for a Dictaphone, -- and this one (ICD-PX312) is a nice one. Looks good, operates intuitively. However, it is virtually useless without the SoundOrganizer software (supplied on CD) which will not install, under any circumstances. Downloading the latest release from the Sony site, similarly, fails to fix: in fact, it generates a whole different suite of problems. And no, I do not have difficulty installing any other forms of software on my machine, ever. (64-bit Windows 7) Did they even test this software? Couldn't have. Sloppy execution renders a really nice hardware product virtually useless. And the support FAQ is no help at all. I'll be returning it today.

    Great product! :D

    Comments about Sony Black 2GB Digital Voice Recorder:

    I used to own a previous version of a Sony recorder ICD-BX800 it was lovely, but for that one I couldn't save my sound files on my computer, hence I bought this one, the upgrade was great, so far it has been a reliable product when it comes to recording lectures, interviews and my voice memos. The sound is really great (if used correctly). And this recorder is far more user friendly than the previous one I had :) I really recommend this product!

    Can not use.

    By wholou

    from New York, New York

    Comments about Sony Black 2GB Digital Voice Recorder:

    Why advertise a seemingly nice product that offers an awesome concept for a program, Dragon Naturally Speaking, that states on ad and box OS MAC compatible, when it doesn't even work with Mac. I called representative and was encouraged to buy Dragon's new Mac program, at 199.00 and I could get a Sony 10% percent discount. I now have nearly 300.00 in products I can not use for my profession. Not at all good advertising or customer service. I thought I was buying a compatible bundled product, not a dud.
