I, too, have one of the H2 ZOOM recorders. -You'll hear/read a lot of technical comparison fighting and folks liking this and that..... but, I doubt you'll find a better unit for less $. I've used mine to upload old LP recordings (with a splitter stereo patch cord from a turntable) and also to upload from old cassettes from a walkman! But mostly, I use it for practices and performances by our little garage band. One set of batteries has provided, easily, 6-8 hours of recording. I'd like to have easier, larger controls on the unit itself, but, normally, I just let it roll, and then, on the computer, I edit out the garbage between the points of interest, and save what I want. Incredibly clear sound for a contained unit that- as we used to say in the old days "is the size of a pack of cigarettes." You can usually find a place to set it, on the included little tripod foot, but, if you want to get creative, the foot screws into a course thread 1/4 inch hole, so you can use standard camera mounts, or get an eye bolt and hang the unit anywhere.
My major shortcoming is that I'm only using a free AUDACITY download for editing, and I basically only chop up the recording into individual cuts, and adjust the volume level before saving the cuts. Better software would be even more amazing, I'm sure. For me, the H2 ZOOM has been a lot of fun.
