Will it record music and sound good (e.g., not muffled)?

I did not try to record music but it did very well with voices. We were able to recognize who the voice belonged to. We also did a RR crossing sound from a recording on the internet. It did the job okay but was not loud enough to hear well from inside a pocket on the Halloween costume. Note that the recording length is very short. You will not likely get a whole song. I was satisfied with the money I spent on them and what I wanted them for.

I wouldn't recomend to buy it. It sounds really bad and you can bearly hear the sound once you place de recorder inside a stuffed animal for example.

My experience is that if I can hear clearly, I can record clearly. If the speaker sounds muffled or there is too much going on around me, then the recording is questionable. As for battery life, I use a rechargeable.

Yes, though I doubt it will be high-quality. It works great on my class lectures. Check for copyrights first, and watch out for the battery life of the recorder, then go wild.

Audio recording is okay, not great. I don't use the audio recorded from this camera in what I do. I always replace it with music or audio from an other camera.

Yes it is. Haven't had the time to familiarize myself with all the features, but I used it for an informal interview and was able to record without a problem. If the audio on the recorder itself is muffled for any reason, it becomes much clearer when you plug in a set of headphones.

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

No. Here's a link to a video of probably the loudest event I've shot with it- so far. It may not seem that loud now, but I had to wear earplugs. What it will do is reveal weaknesses in the PA system and sound mix. In other words, if the sound is bad, it'll record it just like it is. If it's good, like in this video, it'll sound good later on playback. One of the main reasons I bought this camera was to record bands, and so far, so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLGa96YMLU

I would assume so, as my PCM-M10 will record all sound that can be heard by the human ear and also, is sensitive enough to record sound that is not heard by the human ear, in other words, the recorder has a long reach and is very sensitive.

Yes, I think it would do very well. I have been super impressed with the audio quality while recording my tenor saxophone. You will want to try several different distances from the mic to find the best sound.

Yes, the clarity is very good for recording. I use this mic for church and it does a wonderful job with the vocals.

yes, and quite good one. It is especially good for interviews, recording concerts, musical bands, etc. I recommend to check on youtube.

Yes, it record the sound as well, BUT, this camera have a case and that decrease the sound, in my opinion is better to use the camera with the case to protect it (in case you are using the camera outside or in a motorcycle). Later i will attach a link with this review, so you can see how it looks like

It should be able to record whatever it hears, so yes it should be to record what is played on the radio.

A good mic for performing, not sure about recording. I typically use a condenser mic for recording.

Should work fine as long as you speak clearly into the mic when recording. Ours sounds clear even though it is inside a stuffed animal with cotton stuffing all around it.

I think it's better used for recording. It requires phantom power. However It could be used and could sound good if the levels are good.

Fine. Whatever microphone you are going to be using is going to have a far greater effect on the recording quality.
