Tascam SD-20M Digital Recorder - a great unit in a small footprint

I bought this Recorder mostly on the Tascam name.. It is a real good piece of equipment and I use it a lot. The only drawback of this unit is you can't rename your recorded files. The unit names them Tascam0001 Tascam0002 and so on. you will have to keep a record of the Tascam name that pertains to the file recorded or the SD Card can be copied to a computer and the files can be renamed there. An inconvienience but do-able. I highly recommend this recorder for price, quality and useability. It records on an SD card of any size up to 128gb for storage. Michael P
