Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Record it all with simplicity. With up to 300 hours of recording time on the built-in 512 MB flash memory, the ICD-B600 digital voice recorder makes it easy to capture class lectures, business meetings or even your own memos. The single function buttons on the front make simple operations easily accessible and the selectable microphone sensitivity lets you adjust the recording levels to your specific needs. Four message folders are including for organizing your messages and the voice-activated operation makes getting started fast and convenient.
Not real pleasedSeptember 6, 2008 I should have done more research on this prior to purchase. I thought that since it was a digital recorder and had microphone input and headset output that I would be able to download the digital recording to my computer. This model does not allow for a download, instead the small print says to backup your files using a tape recorder. That seems really dumb since I bought this to replace a tape recorder.
SMALL,NIFTY RECORDERSeptember 3, 2008 Today I received my Sony ICD-B600 . I am so pleased with this little gadget ,it is small, very easy to use and the price was right! The product does what is says it will do, and that's really what is important. It is also a very nice looking recorder and the instructions are well written .I am very satisfied and looking forward to integrating this recorder into my everyday life. Just think,I won't have to write myself notes all the time. Hey, that makes it kinda "green too " no paper ! Buy this you will like it ..
Not very happyAugust 26, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
No where on the package does it say you can't hook it up to your computer to get the files off. I am VERY disappointed at that. So, this is completely useless to me now. I got it so I can record rehearsals for the shows that I do, but I can't put the rehearsals on CD so I can learn my parts. Make sure you get one that can be hooked up to a computer! Now I have buy a new one!
Very disoppointed, though.August 16, 2008 I have bought this tiny thing just less than one hour ago.
Fair price, $AUD 79. Good memory, 512 Nice design.
However, I was very disappointed by discovering that it does not suit my needs as there was no way to download current recordings to my laptop in order to share them with my classmates, or to archive them in order to give some room for the new ones. That was very crucial feature to me.
Actually, I have bought this one unintentionally, as was looking for an Olympus model, and, maybe, I was mislead by the other Sony ICDP620 Digital Voice Recorder PC Compatible via USB which supports that.
Anyway, This 3-star review was restricted to the exterior of the device. I have not tried it because, I am going to return just right now, never turned on.
Briefly, I think this Sony ICD-B600 recorder would work better as a personal notetaker - digital reminder - if your memory is not that good one, or if downloading your recordings to your PC does not concern you that much.
I wish you all the best of luck.
On/Off and the easy approach to erasing are poorly documented, otherwise OKAugust 9, 2008 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Documentation states there is no on/off. But there is. The switch on the side labeled "hold" does the trick.
Also the instructions for erasing a message, if followed, will result in message being played 10 times before it is erased. (Why anyone would have a need for THAT to occur is beyond me.) But simply pressing the "Erase" button twice in succession while playing the message will erase the message instantly. That approach is undocumented in the instructions.
Thanks to the other posters who provided this information.
This model has no computer, USB support or software. You won't be able to transfer these sound files electronically in any manner. You have to cough up another $20 or so to get the model that does. It does have jacks for external mike and headphones. I found the quality of the recording as well as the volume on playback to be satisfactory.
The product is a wee bit "over-engineered." The basic operation/buttons and the display screens are not as simple as they could be. This is a $30 unit, so I expected and wanted something very basic. It took a bit of reading/plowing through the manual (and reading reviews here on Amazon) to get oriented. And there is other functional overkill. I didn't need four storage folders (or a way to transfer files between them), an alarm clock (and a way to select a message for the alarm), the ability to go back and splice previous messages, the ability to append recordings to existing messages and other such what not. All that stuff just complicates the device/screens/menus needlessly, imho.
The device ought to auto-power-off when not in use (and not set to voice-activated-recording) but it doesn't. You have to flip that "Hold" switch.
But it appears that it will do the basic job satisfactorily (subject to the above stated issues) and so I can recommended it.
