Good value voice recorder with WMA format
 
Review Date: September 3, 2009
Reviewer: Dmitry Sergeev, Atlanta, GA
I was about to return RCA VR5220 back to the store. The reason to return was a recording VOC audio format which is not a very common for an average user. A need to convert files from one format to another, often with a loss of quality was not an option for me.

Last night I opened a manual... To my surprise VOC recoding is only done in LP and SP mode, and HQ mode, the one I was going to use, records in WMA (Windows Media Audio). No need to convert files anymore, just copy them to PC and play with Windows player or any other player. Reading a manual saved me a trip back to the store.

With a recorder price under $30, ability to record in WMA format, play and edit options, easy file transfer via built in USB port, in my opinion, this recorder offers a really good value.

I purchased this despite reading the other reviews that said they could not get this to work on their mac. I run Mac OSX and had no problem with this voice recorder. The voice recorder must be turned on before you plug it into your USB port. After that it should show up on your desktop just like an other external device. Click on that and in one of the folders you will find a VOC file. To play this VOC file, you must download a converter. The one I use is SoundConverter, and it works great (make sure to change the output to your desired file type, such as MP3). If you are a Mac user, you are probably searching high and low (like I did) for an affordable digital voice recorder. This was cheap, and thus far I have been impressed with the quality and overall functionality of the device. I will update this review after I have used it for a longer period of time.

Overall, if you are a Mac user looking for something that is compatible, this does indeed work. You just drag the file onto the desktop, convert it, and you have your recording.
