 BEST recorder! Even if dropped in the toliet. May 25, 2010
I don't write reviews normally, but just want to say this is worth the price.
It lasted for a long time since i bought it (1-2 years).
It's almost immune to hard drops.
But I did drop it into the toilet for 10 seconds, which I pulled the battery out, dry it for 2-3 days, and then used it. It still works, but a small bump can make it reset. BUT THIS IS AFTER dropping it in the worst place. Otherwise, it will never reset.

 Great, until it dies prematurely, no mp3 option Apr 26, 2010
The worse technical aspect of this device is that it only records in wma (or Windows Media Audio format). MP3 is the standard and users should have that option even if the manufacturer prefers another format. It also suffers from a reliability problem as well.
We enjoyed the ease of use so much that we bought about 5 of them for our reporters, various WS3xx models. While they functioned well for about a year, all of them after about a year started having issues with corrupting audio files. We tried lots of things to fix them, reformatting, etc. but the problems persisted. It would record fine, but then you couldn't transfer the file off of the device, nor could you play it back completely. After losing a couple of irreplaceable interviews, we finally had to purchase another brand. Of course none of them are covered under warranty, so this seems like typical planned failure by manufacturers, which is why I can't recommend this device to anyone who cares about a device that has longevity and security of your audio files in mind.
I suggest purchasing another brand, although be careful with Sony, as some of their products require you to install software to access the audio, and the software is only compatible with certain operating systems, not mac-friendly, nor 64-bit friendly.
We now use the Zoom H4n, which blows them all away in every way, except its price and size. But you get what you pay for. Good luck.

Family memoir recorder Nov 04, 2009
Because of its miniature format, its ease of uploading onto computers or into portable memory, this is ideal for use with
children's speech, family memoirs, or interviews. The quality of the voice is excellent. Olympus WS-331M Digital Voice Recorder and WMA Music Player

Great, great voice recorder! Oct 01, 2009
I hadn't used this recorder consistently since I bought it over 6 months ago and being as how the semester was going to be difficult taking Calculus III and University Physics II, I decided to break out my very much unused $100 piece of equipment for the Fall semester.
It's been a very solid recorder for recording my class lectures so far. I'll throw a few disclaimers out there though before I start the review for the recorder for my school lectures. My classes are about 30-40 people as I'm at a community college so there's not a huge auditorium to compete against or 200 other talking people. I also don't sit as close to the teacher as the first row. I'm usually in the 2nd or 3rd row back out of 4-5 rows. Those two things being said, the recording is amazing even if you don't real real close to the teacher. I do have to turn up the volume on my speakers when I download the recordings via USB, but that's about the only thing that I have to do to hear my lectures well when I'm reading over my notes again.
The features are pretty standard I suppose. This is my first time owning a recorder like this with no tapes and a 2 GB usb storage mechanism. The one thing I really love about it is that it's EXTREMELY light weight and compact. The pictures on here almost don't do it justice as to the portability of this device and for a college student looking to not be loaded down with 80 pounds of books and other items, it's a huge plus for me. Battery life is about a good solid 8-10 hours depending on which setting you use. It is best to use rechargable batteries for this kind of thing though since two 3 hour lectures in one day on the high quality settings can tend to run down the battery by the end of the day (although it always makes it through both of my classes with a few hours to spare).
I haven't bought any others like this except for an old micro-tape recorder that my dad used to have, but from my experience with this recorder alone, I won't be purchasing anything else until this sucker finally plays out on me! (fingers crossed) :)
