This little recorder is awesome! The ability to have so much recording time and store the file on my computer for future reference is just what I needed. I highly recommend it.
Rating: - Excellent!
I just bought 3 of these for the guys at our office who do sales and recruiting and want to record their pitches for training. The sound quality using the built in mic is very good, maybe too good. It was picking up conversations across the office while recording a pitch! Plug this puppy in directly to a phone or computer to record from and you can eliminate all ambient the background stuff. My wife wants one of these so she can record record our daughter saying all her crazy little 2yr old sayings. One reason she likes it is that its very simple to use, you do not need to be a techie to use it. Once you have recorded just pull the bottom off and plug straight into a USB port, hows that for convenience? I havent tried any of the other recorders out there so there may be something better, but as someone savvy and particular about sound i.e. home theater, car speaker etc. the quality from this unit is excellent, you can stop your search here.

The Olympus WS-311 works great. The internal mic is not the best, but an external one improves sound quality immensely. (I use it primarily to record mini-lectures for my students.) I am not a big gadget guy, but it is nice to have a single device which records and plays audio + stores data like a flash drive.
Rating: - Wish it had one more function.
So far so good. There is one thing that I would change, though. I bought it for my wife, and she needs to record lines - she's an actor. If, while recording, she makes a mistake, she has to start a new file, or start over. The only way to edit is on the computer.
I'd like it more if we could stop mid-file and record over part of it.
Oh, and it works fine on a Mac. As long a s files are Mp3s.
