How many gigs does it have? I am mostly interested in how much music it will record.

AM not sure since I also bout a 4G extra ? I have at least 40-50? hours of talk shows, lectures music on it. Love it. Will start recording Millenium of Music from Sirius satellite radio soon. Wish it was cheaper but very easy to use and they respond to email quickly with any questions you may have.

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!

The unit comes with 2 GB of internal memory. At its lowest recordable setting of 32 kbps, it should hold close to 140 hours of recordable audio according to the manufacturer's specifications. Keep in mind, however, that 32 kbps is best used for either spoken word or recordings such as vintage radio programs as the depth of audio will not be as great. I usually have good success recording at 64 kbps, which will still give me up to almost 70 hours on the internal memory and playback within an acceptable audio range. Most stereo music files on typical MP3 players are recorded at 128 kbps; at this bit rate for comparison the CC Witness+ should hold about 35 hours. I have not needed to so to date, but adding an optional SD card will expand the memory dramatically to allow for more audio storage.

I don't really don't know how much internal memory it has I use an SD card.

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.

Internal as far as I know. I have a little over 4 GB of audio on mine now and it is showing I have over 3 gb left.

If you are going to use it for mostly music (record, download, etc) then the supplied Ram is more than enough.

Define average??!! If you have tons of music, create or use acres of documents or books - maybe not. I did buy a 16 gig microsd card for mine, just in case. 16 gigabytes is a LOT of space - but more is better, right?

It has 16 gigs. So far a great computer. Takes a while to get used to windows 8 but a fine purchase.

It comes with 2GB memory which will record 140 hrs. This can be expanded with memory cards.

I have about 1250 average length songs on my 16 Gb thumb drive and it is using about 5.5 Gb of memory. My guess is you would hit the 2,000 song limit at about 8 Gb.

Actually, I'm not entirely sure, but I dropped a 750gb drive in it and it records a LOT!

If your friend just needs it for music, then go with the 30 gig. I bought the 80 gig version, but it's complete overkill for me. I don't watch video on it, or even store photos. I keep about 4,500 songs on there, and it maybe takes up 15gigs or so. You can never have enough space, which is a fact for electronics, so I bought the 80 gig version for myself. If your friend is really into video or photos, then definitely get the 80gig version.

I have over 300 songs on it plus pictures and have only used 2 gigs so far.

I have one of the first builds off the line which is the 4gB model. As I want to use it as a portable recording machine I needed more space, so I picked up an 8 gB SDHC card fo $40 Can/US. I originally used a 2 gB thumb drive, but that fills up when recording hours of audio at 44 khz/16 bit. Also, I like the card as its like a mini-hardrive - it doesn't stick out of the side like a thumb drive. Not sure how much the 8gB model is compared to the 4Gb.. but with expandable memory so cheap..

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.

In "layman's terms," how much time does 32GB provide in recordings? (hours? minutes?)
1946508
According to Apple it can hold 7,000 songs or up to 40 hours of continuous video

Don't I have 32 GB and I have recorded for at least five hours and it was more than enough..

I too thought 5 GB was not very much. However, I've got about 30 books, 10 magazines, 50 pictures, 100 songs (all high quality MP3) and have TONS of room left. Plus you can add a 32 GB micro SD card, so don't worry too much about memory use. The 3 extra GB memory is for future updates.
