Works fine for recording lectures 
I have a colour iPdod the one without the videos. I bought this to record lectures in class. And i works just fine. Only sometimes when the professor is speaking in a very low voice does it falter. Otherwise perfect for the job.
This item does not work for 2 GB Ipods 
I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out if this worked for a 2 GB Ipod as it was not very clear. At the end i had the feeling it did but it does not. I am now stuck with something I cannot use because it was not clearly indicated. I am not the first one apparently so I wonder why Amazon keeps not informating clearly its customers and I am quite unpleased with Amazon and Belkin 
as they don’t seem inclined to do anything to compensate my loss and their lack of useful information.
PS: the rate this item system should include a not recommended at all
Go Digital! 
This is a fabulous product for digital recording. I am a Ph.D. student who needed a way to record interviews for qualitative research. Not only does the product work efficiently, it is small and easy to use. I am not a fan of having to read directions - with my iPod, this was simple and made my transibing much easier with the help of placing the interview into iTunes and playing it with software that allowed me to play back the interview with varying speed. High recommendations for this product.
Its fine-for photo iPods 
You know, its small and efficient.
What more do you need?
I love it.
Falsely advertised compatability with 80 iPod 
the advertisement stated that this mic would be compatable with the newest iPod. It isn’t! Don’t buy if you have the newest version of the iPod. The mic has an extra little part that prevents it from connecting fully to the iPod.
