The quality is pretty good compared to my old voice recorder, but this thing sucks up all my battery life. I can record for almost an hour, but that’s about it. This is after I have fully charged my ipod and I ran the update to see if the programming was better. I run it on low quality to try and get better life but all I get is about one hours worth or recording. If you are only going to record short lectures then this is a good buy, but if you want more flexibility I would recommend purchasing something else.

Range is a lot more limited than I expected, so I can use it in small classes in a pinch, but its completely out of the question for use in lecture halls.

I’ve used the iTalk Pro with both a 60GB iPod Video (hard drive), and a 2nd gen Nano (flash drive) to record hundreds of hours of class lectures. I did notice the whirring sound of the 60GB iPod’s hard drive, however I was able to virtually eliminate any blanks by de-fragmenting. On the Nano, the sound quality is quite impressive. Because the Nano has flash memory rather than a hard drive, there is no whirring. If you have a 2nd gen Nano, which in my opinion is one of the best iPod designs, the iTalk Pro is an excellent microphone choice.

I read that this recorder allows you to hear the iPod motor whir, which I can deal with, but what I didn’t read was that each time just after the iPod begins to whir, the recording cuts out. This leaves me with a lot of blanks…it’s like trying to listen to someone who has a bad cell phone connection.
I wonder why no one talks about this problem.

This is probably the best microphone I’ve owned for recording lectures. The recorded audio quality is superb (in high quality mode) in my I-pod Classic. In fact, the audio quality is close to professional.
The only drawback is that (at least in high quality mode) the microphone cause the batteries in the I-pod to drain at a fast rate. At a full charge (on the I-pod), the recording time/battery time can not last more than an hour.

I don’t know what ipods it works on but it doesn’t work on new ipods and it doesn’t work on old ipods. Ridiculous.
