Fantastic recorder, PC integration is decent
I use this to record audio from my stand-up comedy shows and it works incredibly well. In addition I can edit it on my PC and make great clips. It can be a little tricky to get the hang of the PC program, with VERY limited in-program help, and non-existant manual help, but if you are comfortable with a PC, you'll figure it out.
Great battery life as well!
I STRONLY reccommend this. Very happy with the performance.

Almost perfect
This is a great performer which I use for music rehearsals mostly. I find the quality is much better than trying to use my iPhone's voice recorder feature. Mind you, this is just a little monophonic recorder. If you want to make serious-quality stereo digital audio recordings... there are product out there, but you are going to pay considerably more.My only beef is this: You can download your recordings to your computer; that's fine. BUT I really wish you could upload recorded sound TO the...

not user friendly
I bought this a while ago and really just began to use it recently. I had to call customer service because I was unable to get the basic folder function on the recorder to work. After some trouble shooting the rep while on the phone with me was able to get the recorder to move from file to file.I tried to record today in long play mode and only got about two minutes worth. I press the folder button and it will only display folder A.There's something wrong with this. The instruc...

Won't work with Windows Vista
This was a marvelous voice recorder... until I changed from XP to Vista. The patches issued by Olympus won't work (as you can read on endless web-forums). So think twice before you buy it if you are a Vista user.

Excellent for the student
I bought this recorder a couple of years ago and it has held up great!!! The PC connect allows me to download to my PC and add to my itunes to listen on my ipod. The download is so easy, simply plug in using enclosed USB cable and program automatically opens, then choose download option. I upload lectures to the internet using a free file storage site and share with classmates-I have gotten so many positive reviews on the quality. Some classmates who have recorders actually prefer to download mi...

Would give 5 stars if not for software trouble
This recorder works well as a stand alone recorder and nothing else. You CANNOT transfer to a PC so if you're like me and have filled up your device, just put it in a drawer and forget about it and buy a SONY or any other brand that knows anything about USB transfers.

Clear and concise
I use the Olympus to tape a class and to tape a radio broadcast from the sound booth. In both cases, this little gizmo picks up every sound in the room. On playback, every word is clear and concise. I have great sound quality. I'm not a gadget person but this one is very easy to use. It's small enough to fit in any purse or pocket and it's very sturdy and resilient. In other words, it was worth every dime I paid for it and then some.

Olympus VN-960PC, wouldn't be in school without it!
Unlike a number of reviewers I have not encountered any of the issues described, and I have two of these. The software and hardware work fine for me now over a couple of years on my clunky Windows XP system. After returning to school to finish a degree I saw a guy in class using a VN-240PC. Bought it, loved it. Later I found with multiple classes I really wanted longer recording times in higher quality. Next bought a VN-960PC and at highest setting get nearly 6 hours and that covers my heavy cla...

Great Product, ok software
Great voice detection, capacity, and battery life. The software is a little difficult to work with, but it works. Overall I would recommend this product.
