Mind you the supplied ‘AAA’ rechargeable battery is stated to last for 15½hours in (ST XQ) and 21hours (LP). It has six levels of recording quality and the 4GB of inbuilt memory can record for up to 1088hours (I took this on trust) in the lowest quality (LP) down to 69 and a½ hours in best mode (ST XQ). I hate multi language manuals and most of all I hate manuals designed for more than one model that has different abilities, maybe I am just a grouch. The WS-560M seems to be top of the range and at one point does vaguely say Music mode recording but I could find no other mention I assume its playback only to give your voice recorder similar functionality to that of an MP3 player.
