- good professional quality recorder
I researched the available choices for digital voice recorders for quite some time before settling on this one. It turns out the Sony ICD-BMx series is the only professional level "dictating" recorder available from Sony (discounting their DAT models). All the others don't have the all-important "slide switch" mentioned previously. The Olympus DS4000 and Phillips Pocket Memo 9360/9600 also have this switch. As far as I know, these are the only real options for professional-level dictation. Most of the other ones have features (stereo mic, etc.) that are better suited for other uses (recording lectures, etc.- which the BM1 can still do).

I'm quite happy with the ICD-BM1A, and the latest update to the editing software auto-saves your new dictation files into mp3 or wav, to the directory of your choice, upon inserting the memory stick into your computer's reader, or connecting the usb cable to the recorder. Couldn't be easier, aside from may be having a docking cradle to make the process perfect.

- No way to download Digital Voice Editor Software
I bought a Sony ICD-MX20 digital voice recorder a week ago. I was surprised that Sony does not provide downloads of the associated software named "Digital Voice Editor". Sony Customer Service staff told me that if you lost the CD that came with the box, you had to buy a new one. Only patches of the software are available to download.

This immoral policy violating the norm of digital appliance industries and should not be encouraged. Sony is demoting its brand name by offering poor post-sales services. Think twice before making your buying decision.

- Ripped off by Sony
RIPPED OFF BY SONY Just purchased this for my daughter at college. It records for less than a hour with the included 32MB card. ALL HIGHER CAPACITY CARDS ARE INCOMATIBLE AND ALL COMPATIBLE CARDS ARE OUT OF PRODUCTION.
