I used it with a pair of binaural mics to record a classical concert and it sounded fantastic. The onboard mic preamp is very clean and powered my mics just fine. I do a lot of field recording of sound effects and this unit has just replaced my portable DAT recorder as my main recording device. It's very easy to use for recording and the fact that you can record at 44k WAV files is fantastic. Also has the ability to accept multiple input types (optical, line in, external mic) all from the same 1/8" input.Recording does eat up the battery a lot more than just playing music does. It only lasts about 5-6 hours (possibly more) of steady recording, but that is still quite a bit.If you need a portable recorder for any reason, you will be extremely happy with the iRiver. Answer:

Review: The ab work on this video was good but the aeorbic workout left me making up my own moves just to keep moving during the 20 minutes. Although I believe this tape would help people get into shape I am greatly disappointed in a few things:1. You had to be well coordinated and a dancer to be able to do the steps.2. Being that it is targeting post partum women, coordination and quickly moving from one thing to the next is not something that is easy. I felt that she did not target the 80% but only the 20%.In comparison to the video by Becky Cortez, this video left me wanting the basics instead of the cute dance steps. I will stick to Becky and Gin Miller videos to get me back in shape . Answer:

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Great theme, but not great fiction Review: I completely sympathize with the message of this novel: global warming is an urgent problem which people and governments -- especially in America -- should seriously address. But the novel doesn't work as fiction. The characters are wooden and lack credibility; the dialogue is cliche-ridden and unconvincing. It reads exactly like a political tract masquerading as a novel. I never had the sense that the writer got INSIDE his characters and really felt them as individuals with unique desires and histories and quirks. I never got a sense of ANY of the characters really FEELING the horrifying and sad reality of what a runaway greenhouse effect would mean. Instead, it was as if they were all mouthpieces for the author. But if that's all they are, it would have been better if Burns had simply written an essay or nonfiction book. Answer:

The book has some extemely esoteric "facts," one would rarely find in mainstream writings. This book was written for entertainment only, and "facts" are undocumented with no bibliography. Answer:
