 Great product July 19, 2008
I bought this to replace my cheesy MP3 player, old voice recorder, and USB thumb drive and couldn't be more pleased with it. I use it to record notes and trip reports, as a general purpose USB drive to transfer files (2 GB memory!), and to record high quality stereo from audio sources. I like the fact that it's a direct USB connection, so you can transfer files directly from Windows Explorer. The voice recordings are WMA files that Windows programs can use. The user controls, menu, and display are very nice. Check it out at http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_support_product.asp?id=1292. Download the instruction manual to learn more.

I work by phone with people from all over the world. I needed a more efficient and cost-effective way to record and electronically send those sessions to anyone, anywhere.
The WS-331M has been the perfect solution. The recording quality is excellent. It's easy to use -- even for anyone not familiar with or into the latest tech gadgets (like me). The instruction manual is thorough, clearly written, and easy to understand. Even if you can intuitively figure out how to use the WS-331M without reading the manual, it would still be worth your time to read it because you'll pick up many useful shortcuts and tips. Since many other reviewers have gone more into the particulars of files, folders, etc., I'll spare you the repetition and stop here.
The best part for me is how easy it is to electronically send a recording. All I need to do is plug the recorder into my PC, download the session file onto my destop, upload it to Senduit-dot-com, and then send that link to the client. No worries about file size or email incompatibilities. It's brilliant.
Great recorder! May 17, 2008
I have been using this recorder for the past few weeks and I love it. I highly recommend it. I've only had one issue with it since a purchased it several weeks ago. When using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)at the factory setting, the beginning of every recorded segment after a pause is clipped off. It's possible that this can be corrected by adjusting the VCVA level but I haven't tried that yet. Also, according to the owner's manual, when using VCVA, recording automatically stops after one second when the sound volume is lower than the preset threshold sound level. I would like to be able to adjust this setting to two or three seconds, which would result in a more natural sounding playback, but that's not possible.
Mac/iTunes compatibility? May 16, 2008

Does anyone know how this product can be used with Mac/iTunes? I purchased the recorder and like the USB feature, but don't see how to convert the files this recorder creates without third-party software, which I will not use. Has anyone been able to add the files the Olympus creates to iTunes so that recordings can be stored/burned, etc. as MP3 or other iTunes compatible file? Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
