voice recorder limits? Are the recordings saved to the card as MP3 files?

I have a 1gb card and i'm still limited by the 3min voice memo. If there is a way around it which I dont think there is I havn't figured it out. I don't think you can transfer the memo's digitally to your pc either. However you can using a microphone and holding it up to the ear peice

Yes, you can, but only with an external device, using the RCA or XLR input You can reproduce the files, add your vocal, and record in the memory card.

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.

You can turn off the voice activated recording mode to change how audio is captured at the time of a recording. You have the option to add onto an existing recording so you do not create separate files. You can also make corrections. This is done prior to recording the additional material. There is software available that allows you to join and edit existing MP3 files.

I am sorry, but since I have no intention of downloading anything from the recorder to any PC, I honestly do not know if this is possible. I would contact Sony to be sure, good luck.

Can I play back? I record and then listen to it for my minutes of the meeting. Does that answer your question? It is for a non-profit group and I keep it as our permanent record though the file size is huge; I want to say around 128 megabytes. It works great. Let me know if you have any more questions.

No, this recorder has no USB connection or card, so recordings cannot be downloaded.

I'm not familiar with a "digital voice mini-recorder". Wish I could help, but can't.

Yes. To voice recordings. As far as using an external micro sd card for extra storage or video watching with no laptop conversion to avi, just straight in download, no success. Yet.

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 had the same problem. It turned out that some of the files were not MP3s but MP4s. Once the conversion was made to MP3s, I had no problems loading them on to an SD card.

My S2IS purchased at Amazon.com came with a Kingston 1GB card, so slow it's not speed-rated, I'm guessing 5X or so. But it still records OK, at 30 fps 640x480 with 16-bit uncompressed wav STEREO, just like the S3. It's just a pain to offload the files to computers. 1GB is enough for 9 minutes, so I suppose any 10x, 20x, rated cards should work.

Two Gigs built in, but will accept SD cards up to sixteen Gigs. I use a 2G card rather than the internal. You can select the recording quality, up to CD quality (which limits time). I use it only to record FM radio voice so can record hours. Great gadget!

All the documentation indicates 32 GB is the maximum card capacity. In most cases this should be sufficient if you set the options to loop over older recordings so that you will always have the last few hours saved. You always have the option of swapping out multiple cards if you need to archive more than 32 GBs.

Depends on the memory of the recorder, there is no limit of file size, there might be a limit when you to email a recording. But the recorder doesn't have any limits.

Pat, a previous buyer named Sparky gave you a correct answer. But let me add to your inquiry: Memory capacity is important but not always extremely necessary. It all depends on your needs and usage of the equipment. In my situation, I always save my recordings (MP3 format) with a labeled folder into My Music Folder (Windows) and iTunes. I don't keep my Digital Voice Recorder full of my recordings. Bottom Line: you can manage your equipment memory capacity to your convenience. Edgar
