Olympus WS-311M Digital Voice Recorder

I have been trying many different types of recorders for the past six months. This recorder by far surpasses all of the many recorders that I have tried. I do a lot of audience and lecture recordings. I have also tried IC recorders which came close but it was not worth the effort of having to transfer from one format to another(lots of time involved).
This recorder deserves a five star rating.
