Although the interface layout is very good, Snooper lacks several key functions. A - The audio level meters are not accurate B - Adjusting the sound levels are difficult as levels change C - You do not access to the Windows playback and record controls I do hope this little gem does move upward as the price alone for the voice activated recorder is of great value for those looking a means of utilizing a scheduler for recording your favorite talk radio shows. I am testing out multitrack recorders and internet recorders over at The Learning Portal at: http://www.eiproject.net/elearn/presents/audio_rec/ I am finding TopShareWare a useful resource. Rick
