Hi Kazai, i have the same question. Did you ever find out if you can put the recorded Fm files on your computer? I've had one of these for years and have not been able to figure out how. sharphoto

Hello, this MP4 has the voice recording function, but could not record FM. Thanks.

My only use is with PX333...I have used other recorders but they don't download in MP3 so I can convert to WMA for playback in discs. I record radio show, so I have to stick with what I know works, I am not an engineer I am a broadcaster.

That is how I use it. You can opt to create a higher quality mp3 when you record if you need better quality. I like that flexibility.

I have another brand that does that. I leave it in and switch to FM to get it to stop. When I go back to tape it works properly without the clicking and ejecting.

My FM reception is good even though my unit is in the basement. I've never had any trouble with reception.

According to my husband, FM reception is fine. Other than just to try it out, we haven't really used it.

I see the entry below and wonder why. So far I've had an excellent experience with my unit. I bought it all and didn't really need the FM booster. Still, puts out sound like a full sized unit, in my humble opinion. Would I do it again? So far, you betcha'!!

There is a voice recording feature of the MP3 USB device. However, As far as I can tell - I have had several of these, you cannot record from the radio when they play, for instance, your favorite tune. Sorry. I do remember my first Cassette recorder had that capability but this device does not

I own a 16 gig S545 and have had it for quite a few yeas now. The difference is that it records FM radio also. When I bought mine, a new one was about $120.00. It seems that none of their models have the FM recording feature anymore. Only voice recording. Other than that you really cant go wrong buying Sony.

I wouldn't recommend it. I am using the unit as an fm signal to an external sound card to record a program daily. It very often gets stuck or locked up and only a power reset will fix it. it is very susceptible to static discharge. I had to ground the case externally and connect a higher gain antenna to the input.

as far as I know, there is no way to record anything off the radio part of this unit to the memory card. The card is there to store music files ( mp3 ) from other sources. For instance, I have thousands of songs which I transferred to the card using my computer. These were songs which I had already had on other small mp3 players. It's nice to have something that sounds very good without having to use earbuds...... Batteries last a long time and are rechargeable

This particular model does not have radio, although I think Sony does have a similar model with FM recording.

No FM and no recording. This is a basic and durable MP3 player with no frills.

Yes. I use it to record interviews. You also can record radio programs off the internal FM receiver.

This does record from the radio or ambient sounds. This is what I need if for and it does so adequately for my needs.

Yes, it does record audio and the quality is good. Just remember not to turn your radio up to loud. It faintly picked up a conversation outside of the car (radio was off and windows were down).
