Review title: Optimism quashed
Product review: I bought this device hoping to use my new 5th gen ipod video as a digital recorder for class lectures but felt it did not meet my expectations. The Apple genius person told me, after making "voice memos" that were not able to be transferred to the computer and were part dead air, that memos could not be recorded longer than 20 minutes or the file would start to corrupt. So I began to stop the recordings at or before 20 minutes and I still had problems with about 30% of the files being partly corrupted and most unable to be transferred to my computer. My second trip to the genius bar was met with rebuff and advice to buy a real digital recorder and just use my iPod for music. I try to be a good apple customer....but its so hard sometimes.... I was also directed to the ExtremeMac company. I'll enquire there too...but not with much optimism. I think the advice I got today is best...buy a recorder.
