Hi, I have now been using this with my 80gb iPod for over 4 months now and can confirm it works flawlessly. The quality of recordings is incredible if you consider the overall size of the entire unit. As a music student, i have recorded lectures at university using the supplied mic, and have used a high quality mic for live music recording to great effect. I can do just on average 4 hours on a full charge, but I never record that much, i dont know anyone that does! Having said that, there are some issues with the device mainly that you cannot adjust the input levels. this sometimes causes clipping issues however i must say that i a very pleased with the product and recommend it

I was thinking about getting one of these to record live music. I want to replace my MiniDisk recorder. The comments here have made me think twice.

I found a device called an iBoost, that is a battery pack for video iPods that has a pass through that I was told would allow me to hook up the MicroMemo.

Anyone try this?

both, I don’t think this is a very good product, it may not be the product its self more of an compatibillity issue with apple, any way I would not recommend this unless you only plan on using it for 15-20min sessions otherwise the audio is worthless….

unless anyone has a solution????

That’s not good! The most I’ve recorded was an hour … the battery was 3/4 gone, but the sound files was okay. Were you guys recording Lo or High quality?

Not sure if mine is working properly. When I record the battery runs down very quick it will last about an hour to hour and half. But when I play it back later I get great audio for the first 20-30min then it starts cutting in and out, then it stops, although the track and time is correct on the counter it skips around alot then it just stops. Just wondering if anyone else had the same experience.
