Comments about Streaming Networks iRecord Music:
I would buy another one of these in a heartbeat. Of all the portable electronics I own, this was the missing link. This pays for itself in no time. Audio recordings are good enough for me to rate this item 4 stars. Not 5, because, if you want the device to be variable, you have to download software. Otherwise it's fine right out of the package for my needs. The price is definitely reasonable for this device's features. Charges usb devices, but you need the a/c cord for that. But to use it as an mp3 player, you don't need the cord. If something happens to mine, B&H will surely get my order for another one, right away! Upgrading the earbuds are a must though. Good device, bad earbuds.
