Haha no. I have it for a couple of months but besides some animals, weather, trains and some random foley stuff, I haven't recorded that much. But great if it does.

A few years ago a friend was looking for just such a device (although she wanted it so that she could capture her piano playing and maybe some outdoor guitar playing). The H1 n was the best deal.

I even got it to act as a recording interface using the ASIO driver for another of Zoom's products. Lotta latency, though, IIRC.

@Brian Lawler, A friend gave me a Beats Pill from the "rubberized" era that had turned sticky. I couldn't get it to come off so I carefully dusted it with corn starch and it's been fine. Looks-wise, not so attractive, but at least I don't get gooey hands from picking it up. The corn starch just sticks to it and ends the stickiness.

Got an Olympus myself that does video too

Not perfect but certainly handy once in a while.

For years the Tascam DP-006 has been consistently my favorite for recording of live choir/orchestra/band performances. I often use a Tascam DR-05 side-by-side, with the DP-006 producing more pleasing results every time. I believe the "magic" is in the microphones, which are omnidirectional and result in a more "open" sound that I consistently like better. I sometimes reduce the omnidirectionality  by placing a vocal shield (which reasonably keeps the "openness" but allow for focusing on the stage while reducing potential noises from the audience side)

The DP is a more complex machine, with options for multiple track mixing that I never need, since I end up doing all my mixing in the DAW. But I keep using the DP because, for my taste, it just produces nicer sounding recordings.

If you don't like omni mics or if size is important, that will probably disqualify the DP. In terms of price, it is generally 50%~100% above the price of the Zoom H1n/DR-05/DR-07

If you find one that you like but the battery is not built-in, you may want to look into AA and AAA li-ion and li-poly batteries, e.g.

https://www.amazon.fr/EBL-Rechargeables-3300mWh-Tension-Constante/dp/B08SGQZ56V/ref=sr_1_3

 Nowadays that they have fast on-battery usb charging and you don't need to deal with carrying a battery charger, the loss of flexibility should be minimal

(note: I pasted an amazon link because they have better descriptions, comments, etc but this is the kind of product that can be found much cheaper from https://aliexpress.com)
