The features are fantastic on the WS331M, however, I will probably return it because it is too difficult to read the files in file menu and with the potential for 2GB of files in the model I bought it would get frustrating. So if that doesn't bother you, it is a great recorder, just don't understand why they can't come up with a better display if it can have so much storage. Read more
