I am a medical transcriptionist and while the physician dictates on one of these, I was using a transcriber machine which had been acting up lately. Since I wasn't sure whether it was the physician's recorder, the transcriber, or even the tapes, I decided to purchase this so I had a means to troubleshoot as well as having a backup recorder in the event I needed to listen to one of the tapes by another means. The microcassette system is slowly becoming obsolete and many are now going digital, but for a physician who already has the entire setup for microcassette, it is a big expense to totally replace a currently working system. This little recorder is a nice little machine. Sound is crisp and battery life is good. I trust the Sony name so when I saw this one I jumped at the chance to get it. Plus, it's the same model that the physician uses so at least he has a backup if his recorder of over 7 years ever quits. Highly recommend. The tapes are out there in the market but you just have to know where to look.Read full review

I was glad to find this used recorder to playback some old tapes I had. I was hoping my now deceased grandmother's voice was on one of the tapes. My microcassette no longer turned the tapes to play them back. I couldn't believe new ones like this were several hundred dollars! While I didn't find my grandmother's voice, I am happy to have a recorder to back up my digital phone recorder.

I am bidding on the 570's because I had one and used it so much, it finally died, but I am used to this model. I am also bidding on the other models by Sony because sometimes I need to use an external microphone and the 570 does not have a port for that. But I tried digital recorders, and there is no way to save the recordings when the digital folders get full, so I am back to microcassette recorders. I wish the manufacturers would keep making them. I am afraid it may be difficult to find the cassettes pretty soon.
