Rating: - Great recorder
I purchased this to work with Dragon Naturally Speaking and it has worked great with easy transfer of files then recognition almost as good as my headset. It is easy to use with intuitive menus. It is sturdy and has handled many trips to the floor and still looks and works like new.
Rating: - Great Product
Still have to try to find the best setting though.
Volume is a bit low...have to find a way to increase that but quality is awesome.
One thing i didnt like was the voice up. It doesnt work that well. It just increases everything including the noise.
Rating: - Solutions to inaccurate reviews.
This "review" is primarily to clear up some inaaccuracies I have read in many reviews for this recorder. First, you can turn off this recorder without removing the batteries. Second, Digital Voice Editor Software IS available!!!
Turning Off the Sony ICD-MX20:
Flip the hold switch on the back of the recorder -> wait -> the display will turn off. Further, even with the display "on" battery drain is minimal. Think of it as a digital watch.

Rating: - Device great but don't buy if you only have Macintosh
The device is great, audio quality and features fine, but their proprietary audio format and lack of ANY Macintosh software that can read it is infuriating. Fortunately I use boot camp but it is a pain. Sony should give you the option to recording uncompressed WAV or AIF, and not just their lousy MSV format. I knew before the purchase that the software they provide was not Mac compatible, but didn't know that the audio could not be read by ANY Mac software. Sony, get your act together.
Rating: - Junk - and Sony should be ASHAMED!
Can I give this a minus five stars? I received mine not long after they began making them, when they were running over $200. It took two months on backorder to receive, and then it broke within a month. I didn't drop it, expose it to water, nothing. So I called them to return it, and spent 3 HOURS being shifted from person to person, with no results. 3 people I spoke to were obviously from India (and I don't have an issue with that if they can solve the problem,)they didn't know what backorder meant and told me that since it was order three months before, they would only be able to give me ...
