Advantages: very neat, easy to connect to a PC, runs for ages on a single AAA battery Disadvantages: feels and looks cheap/nasty, fiddly controls, sound quality not the best
...does more or less what it says - albeit in a rather hissy way - I suppose I should be content.
Otherwise I might have purchased a Sony ICD-UX80.

Or gone right OTT with an Olympus LS-10.

Or one of the other premium, but compact, products from Sony, Tascam, Yamaha or Marantz etc.
However, if you're after excellent sound quality for not a lot more dosh than WS-331M, and are prepared to put up with a much bulkier unit, have a look at the ZOOM H2.

I use one of these for recording music and the reproduction is top-notch.
I hope all this has been helpful....

Advantages: EXQUISITE SOUND QUALITY, EXCELLENT MEMORY CAPACITY (20 GB), 600 min Battery Life, CLASSY AESTHETICS, EXCELLENT BUILD QUALITY & DURABILITY Disadvantages: price is a little heavy - But Worth it.
...If you believe that nothing in this world is PERFECT - Then the Latest APPLE iPOD is out of this world. With looks CLASSY enough to put the Queen in "Long Term Jealousy Syndrome" & with storage space to match that of your PC & CRYSTAL CLEAR Sound quality , APPLE iPOD is just what is needed to make yourself look like a Greek God. And you can't defy its range of Features -
20 GB means 4000 songs or 400 Cd's at 160 Kbps compression rate.
With Touch sensitive dust proof scroll wheel, 20 min Skip protection ( which is the highest ), 10 hr continuous Playback in just under 3 hr charging time, Store documents, files and applications on APPLE iPOD in FireWire disk mode, 1 year Warranty, High-Quality Stereo Output, Player remote control - cable, Binaural Stereo Headphones ( Top in line ). Asking for more would be sheer greediness...
