Hey, I have the iRiver and have used it once to record some of my class. It seemed to work pretty well and I could hear everything that was being said (I was probably 30-40 feet from the prof). Sound quality was pretty decent too. Hope that helps your decision.

PS If you're trying to bootleg a concert, stand WAAAAAAAAY far from the speakers.

hahaha...i'll be too busy studying to go to any concerts.

Usually paper. I have used MS Word in the past.

do you have any experiences with recorders though? Any classmates that you can refer to?


I've tried mspaint. My handwriting really is horrible. I can't rely on it as writing by hand is quite awkward for me.



edit: I said mspaint!! Lol. I meant ms word.

I have enough trouble staying awake through a lecture once, I don't want to have to listen to it twice.

The nice thing about using the computer to take notes is that your notes are searchable. You don't have to flip through pages to find a formula, just search for the title of it. Much faster than listening to hours of voice recordings over again.

haha, that makes sense. I somehow lack half of my brain cells in the morning, and find it difficult to concentrate. At nights, my brain kicks into high gear. I wish i could have class start at 11 pm

I just realized I still have that recording in my iRiver. I could link it up for you in a few minutes...sorry about all the mindless banter.

Now that I listen to it again, my advice is: If you are getting a recorder, be VERY quiet, and sit close to the front.

i'd really appreciate it if you posted your recording and told me the model of your Iriver
