Many people are happy with this recorder (and the Olympus line until now). Olympus is known as the 'king of voice recorders' as Apple is known as the king of MP3 players.The advantage of this is that it is made for recording and playback as has many good features for that.IT ALSO PLAYS MP3 FILES which are put in through the computer. (That is the 'Music' button on the side of the player: To play the files put over from the computer).Here are a few points about it:o It plays MP3, though it only shows filename; not title, artist etc. You can use a tagging program such as PZ Tag editor; a very good program for tagging MP3 files. (It is a free trial for 30 days, then about [$].) With this program, you can copy over the tagging info to the filename (for example, to make the Title and artist the filename like ‘Title-artist.MP3')p.s. then I noticed that it shows the Title and artist while it is playing. They scroll across the screen. But you cannot search by it, only filename. But of course, it is a bonus to the recorder.o Just for technical info, the player shows only 40 characters of the filename, so if the filename is longer, the remaining characters will not show, but should not be an issue.o In the player, you can make folders (through the computer), so you can make a separate folder or each album/subject etc.• The speaker can heard clearly even from across the room; as long as it was recorded clearly.• In general it is always a good idea to have the recorder as close as possible to the speaker, because the clearest recording is always from up-close; although the mics will pick up from further. Also, if you hear background noise in the recording, there may be background noise in the room where it was recorded; check.All in all it is a very good recorder with MP3 playback also.

The Olympus WS-331M is very light-weight and comfortable to use. It can be kept anywhere (pockets, professor's desk, etc.) and gets high-quality recordings, especially with an external microphone attached.

The cons are it's battery - I prefer a Lithium based internal battery that can be recharged while the recorder is connect to the PC, than having to buy AAA batteries or recharge them externaly.

I use this to record chorus and quartet (acapella) rehearsals & performances. Very useful for reviewing between rehearsals - discovering tuning or synch problems to fix next time.
Relatively easy to use, even for a non-techie.
Easy to share files with others via email.
Love that it has a built-in speaker. Even though the sound is a little tinny, you can immediately hear what you've recorded without having to hook up speakers, etc.
I'm still on the first battery, so early experience with battery life is good - as advertised.
