for recording band practices and stuff?

It's what I use, and I'm VERY pleased with the quality of the recording from band practises. Picks up bass great, which is normally an issue I believe for small cheap recorders.

I don't really mess with the mic settings either, so it's probable I'm not using it to it's full potential either.

seem like a good endorsement, cheers

yeah reviews say sound quality and ease of use is top tier for the price. can be had for £96 on amazon at the moment which is crazy cheap. might as well have a punt

what size sd card do you have? is 2gb enough for a few hours?

I usually use a 4GB. Space depends on recording format - I use CD Stereo 44.1 kHz - so that gets used as you'd expect - 700 MB = 80 minutes, 2GB is about 3+3/4 hours

that's really good. more than i was expecting

Yeah, I'm about the same I would say. Easy get 2-3 practices recorded, but I stop between each track/tape as it makes it easier to filter the shit when I'm listening back. I've recorded 3-4 hours worth of live shows on it before with the 4GB card.
