I first borrowed this product from a friend and realized how handy it can be. I then bought one online, and have loved it. It is very easy to plug into the bottom of your iPod and it automatically opens everything you need to start recording. I love not having to install more software. The sound files also easily transfer to your iTunes to listen to, upload, etc. When the person being recorded is in close range, the sound quality is pretty good. For long distance, the recording becomes fuzzy. This product is lightweight, easily transportable, and amazing! I would recommend this to anyone completing interviews or recording close-range.
