 Good, but not quite good enough May 17, 2008

The concept for this product is good, but its execution leaves enough to be desired so that it does not justify its high price. Just a few of the most important problems:
(1) the device and controls are a bit too small - the UI screen for displaying status and other information is difficult to see and the control buttons on the front of the device are so small that it is difficult at times to make certain that the correct one is activated or that the intended function is operated. I suggest an increase in size in the overall device and display of at least 25%.;
(2) the device itself is made of plastic and has a cheap feel to it - I suggest incorporating metal into the case for sturdiness and better feel. Increasing the weight slightly would help and make the device less likely to be lost;
(3) the USB connection does not properly engage on some computers because the ridge around the bottom of the device prevents the USB connection from fully coupling to the USB port on some computers - this means that the cable must be used and reduces the value of the device a small amount because now one must remember to take the cable when using the device if documents are to be exchanged. I suggest lengthening the amount the USB plug extends from the device case.
Because of these problems, I can only give it an average rating.
 AN Excellent Product May 3, 2008

I investigate potential insurance fraud and use the Olympus WS-321M to record interviews of claimants and witnesses. This is an excellent product - it does a great job of capturing voices while minimizing background noises. Transfer onto the computer and eventually onto a CD could not be easier.
Olympus WS-321 Just what I was looking for April 25, 2008

I ordered the Olympus WS-321 for two reasons: one as a Mac owner I wanted a voice recorder that would easily interface with my Mac. The Olympus WS-321 does that just fine and I can also download the files to my PC. Reason 2: it's size. I use it to record my singing at our chorus rehearsals - the Olympus WS-321 slips into my back pocket; don't need audio tapes. I then email the MP3 file to my section leader for her to review after I've reviewed it myself. I've used the Olympus WS-321 for about a month now. It's doing just what I purchased it for.
The Olympic WS-321M Digiatal Voice Recorder is exellent!! April 10, 2008

First off, thank you Amazon.com for making purchasing goods online easier than ever. I received the the package earlier than the delivery estimated day.
Second, I like this WS-321M so much since it's light,easy connect to my computer via the USB port. The sound recorded in HQ mode is extremly good. My classmate has a Sony recorder and when I made a comparision to the WS-321M, I think I had made a right choice for paying for it. As I am a college student, the 1GB memory of the WS-321M is suited me as well. Only 1 thing I'm not please about WS-321M, battery life is short 'cause it uses only 1AAA bat.
 Good, but could use file download software March 19, 2008

For the day I've had it, some things I've noticed...
+ Works fine and reliable so far
+ You can plug it directly into a usb drive, but it also comes with a extension usb cable in case fitting the machine in won't be an option
- Speakers not the best, but workable
- Should becareful of which recording sensitivity on the mic you're using as your recording could have a dizzying effect jumping from back to right.
- Could have included software to better transfer file. The manual tells you to go online, but does not have a comprehensive program to use
