It works like a camera or an mp3 player. You just hook it up and your computer will see the files .

Sounds like a deal to me. At least a temporary fix till I have the means to do something better recording wise anyway.

Well it is really really good.
I used to own the more expensive H2, but this actually sounds a bit better.
The mics are brilliant, it's really fast and if you want to use an external mic, that can be done too. So you can upgrade if you want to.
You can plug in a pair of headphones to monitor yourself, which is a nice feature too.

I would advise you to buy the additional accessory pack which contains an adapter, a little tripod, a protective bag and a windjammer.
The Zoom H1 itself comes with a set of batteries and a 2GB SD card, that's it.

Ill definatley check it out and appreciate the help

No prob. There's no need to buy expensive stuff as you see.
Altough I must say I can't understand how they managed to build two microphones, pretty good preamps, some software and a display into a housing for such a tiny amount of money

[Howard the Duck]

i didn't say it'll sound good using my technique

[s_k]

hahaha, then what's the use? ;D.

By the way, how do you transfer from cassette recorder to mp3 player?

[Howard the Duck]

he said he wanted it "raw"

I just recorded direct from the speakers - i was going for the Daniel Johnston effect

here's the result in case anybody's interested (which I doubt):-

PatriKc Lim (Il Duce)'s sounds on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

[s_k]

Hahaha, I must admit it sounds rather cool, but probably a bit too raw.
You could always distort stuff afterwards .

[Howard the Duck]

i got a Daniel Johnston CD that sounds like that, and people hail him as a sort of folk hero so why not?

[Bloozcrooz]

I appreciate the advice both of you gave and yes a raw sound is fine. Meaning it doesnt have to be perfect. I was just trying to go the cheap easy way to start out. Then if I ever get lucky enough to do a real recording ill cross that bridge then. I doubt ill ever get the chance to use any real equipment that would allow for a good recording though. But im not stressing on the quality at this point.
