Great little recorder

I got my recorder about 3-4 months ago. So far, so good. I have used it for voice recording with good results. I also like the fact it has jacks for ac adapter, external microphone and earphones. It takes standard cassette tapes. To me that is a plus.I do handle it with reasonable care. It is plastic, so take care of it and you will probably get good service....

Great Recorder!

Great recorder! The playback sound (voice) is amazingly good at 3x recording speed.It's much, much better than my Sony microcassette, even when the Sony is on the normal (best) recording speed. Like another reviewer mentioned, one drawback of 3x is you can't play it in your car deck (but who has those these days?!).But you can record 12 hours on one 120 minute tape at 3x speed!6 hours a side.That can be good and bad; good for the capacity, bad to find specific spots, eg. the beginnings of things...

cassette reviewer

I bought the RQ-L31 from Circuit City(in their store)for a total of about $38.00; with no AC adapter or batteries.This recorder has a sensative microphone(built-in)that will pick up birds singing from a neighbors yard!The mic has two positions(up or normal); and it's difficult to tell the difference between the two settings on recordings. The voice activation record has two settings, one is for quiet, distant sounds, the other is for close-up sounds. I have used the RQ-L31 for voice and music recording...

VG for what it is. But they don't make em like they used to.

It's kind of inappropriate that so many people complain that recorders _intended_ for speech (e.g. lectures, interviews, notes, etc.) are bad for recording music.Kind of goes without saying.If you want to record music, if you want stereo sound, if require audio quality, then don't buy _any_ cassette recorder in this price range.(The bare minimum for these needs is possibly the Panasonic RQ-A220.)There's also lots of confusion about the term "mini."The term mini is about the player size, not the...

This recorder uses regular cassettes, not mini cassettes. I bought it so I could tape solos and learn them on the sax but the built-in microphone doesn't record music too well. It's probably better-suited for taping lectures, meetings, voice, etc....
