Ive had it for a year now, but have barely used it. I just finished recording with it using the T-mic and it worked fine, except that the resulting wav file could only be played with VLC for some reason. A couple weeks later i go to record and all im getting is static. I paid way too much (nearly $400) for this thing for it to work a few times and then crap out. Is this an established problem or is it does it sound like its done for? I'm only doing some live recording and dont have $400 to spend on another shoddy product that cant work for more than an hour at a time, can anyone recommend a solid inexpensive portable recorder that has either replaceable batteries or at least can last for a few hours?
