Cons

Although this Mp3 Player 20Gb does have, a voice recorder the microphone is tiny. The small microphone leads to poor quality voice recordings that sound awful, so using this to record lectures at school is probably not a good idea.

Some will not like the screen on this unit. It is a plain display with blue backlighting instead of the colorful display of many mp3 players. The trade off is a lot more battery life, 20 hours to be exact. The color LCD screens of many other players are a serious battery drain.
