    This recorder offers a very good choice of both recording and playback modes. Its file storage system is very flexible. It loves batteries but NiMH seem to work OK. Be prepared to read and absorb a lot of documentation.

    The Zoom H2 is an incredible digital recorder particularly at the price. I play with a pop/rock trio using electric drums and we play all play through our PA head. I take a line out from the PA head and input it to the Zoom H2, balance the music and vocals, and make incredible live recordings. The first time I used it, I just put it on the floor between the guitar, bass, drums and vocal speakers and got a very good recording with no distortion at all. You can't beat this one for the price.

    I have been using the H2 for over a year now, and I will say this thing is the best bang for your buck. I bought this one for a friend. It is great for field recordings or recording concerts. Or rehearsals. Or song ideas while you are on the road. Or whatever. It can handle a huge amount of sound pressure without overloading and is very easy to use. Rugged, affordable, and the sound quality is grade A. The built-in dynamic microphones do the job nicely.
