Are you able to backup 60 seconds or so while listening to an audio book or long lecture (30 mins or so)?

You can program the audio book to go forward or backward in chapter mode or you can turn that off and go forward or backward as you wish. Most books are downloaded in segments so it is easy to start any where you want. Hope this helped.

Read the reviews ofr Belkin TuneTalk. Was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative recorder that works well with lectures and has a long battery life, for reasonable student price?

It will work, but you will most likely run out of space especially since you are trying to record your lectures - which tend to be long. However if you offload it onto your itunes daily, you should be able to manage.

I use it for listening to lectures, books and music. If you pause it (and let it auto shut off) or turn it off it starts over from where you left off. If you set the sleep timer it starts over from where it shut off. Also it turns on quickly. It has bookmarks and I find them easy to use. All in all I am very happy with its performance and usability.

I have spent a lot of time with the unit and I don't believe you can do both. It is very specific for one activity at a time in playback. Could ask company? Pamphlet is vague and most of what I have learned has been trial and error.

Glad to have helped, David. A little background on why I bought this. I'm embarking on the biggest free-lance writing project of my life: The history of University of Nebraska at Omaha hockey. I have an antique recorder that uses the mini-cassettes, but they last a maximum of 30 minutes per side. Some of my interviews already have exceeded an hour, so I use the digital recorder as a backup. The quality of the digital recorder is far superior to the old recorder. My final suggestion for you once you get it: Familiarize yourself with all the features to get the best use from it. Happy Holidays!

Yes, you can. I've done that with our dog when she's been left alone in the house. Depending on the internet connection, there is a bit of a lag between the time you speak and the audio is heard at the other end.

No I don't think you can. Check out verbatim media share or Kingston media lite

(For listening to audiobooks) Does this resume at the same place when you restart the car?

You can use any kind. The audio files are not huge so you can get a way with a low-cost memory card. Between 4gb and 8gb should be more than sufficient.

NetLibrary actually allows three transfers of an audiobook file. You can look to see how many are remaining by viewing Properties then Media Usage Rights in Media Player.

There is a freeware that rips CD's to mp3 called audiograbber. it will hardly take few minutes to rip a 80 min cd. this should help you a lot.

Thaks for the "power down" tip. This will work for me as I only listen to one book at a time. Thanks for all the other info too.

When recording anything more than a 5-10 minutes, I need to let it "warm up" by first recording some throw-away content for about one to two times the length of time of what I ultimately need to record. But after it is warmed up, it is fine indefinitely (or until I run out of disk space).

Yes you can, it might take a while if you are backing up a lot of files,just be patient.

3-5 Hours depending on your volume level.I've used for event that was 3 hours at about 2/3 output. I didn't run out, but don't how much longer it would have lasted.
