I've never opened that little plastic door on mine - I just plug a USB cable into the H2 and the computer, and I see my H2's SD card like it was a storage device on my PC. From there, it's easy to copy to the PC, erase what's on the Zoom, etc.
I have heard this criticism before. Do you take the SD card out and then put it into a card reader on your computer? Yes- because the H2 as a USB drive transfers at the older USB 1.1 speed. I did a quick test of a recording I made today (about 20 minutes worth): Direct SD card transfer: 24 seconds USB transfer from the H2: 6 minutes, 15 seconds I use a H2 to record board meetings and it does a perfectly good job. It has too much noise for any type of high quality music recording and the external mic input is a stereo mini jack with no phantom power. This is not a great concern if you just want to record your home practice session I have to respectfully disagree on this point- my unit has a tiny fraction of the noise my Minidisc had after transferring to my computer. It may not be studio-level quality, but it's amazing for a sub $200 device! If you have a lot of noise you may have a defective unit. The H2 with external mics have been reported to have quite a bit of noise in some situations, but not with the internals. Here is an example recording I made recently of my WWQ in concert. The only edit I did was fade in/out. Also, this is a 192kbr mp3 to save space in uploading. The wav version is even cleaner.
