Query: Not as good as I expected

My daughter has had this for almost a year. It is still working but does not get used very much. I was wanting to get a microphone that could record her singing so I got this but am very disappointed regarding the recording. It only records for a short time and it is not long enough to even get through a whole song. There is some amplification but have to make sure that the bottom part of microphone is turned the right way for it to work. The very bottom of the microphone turns which I guess is the on off switch for applification, which might be why so many people have problems with it if they don't realize that is how it works. However even with it on it is not very loud. My daughter likes the songs that are stored in the microphone so that is really the only thing good about it. It is fine for a play microphone but if your wanting something more realistic than don't buy this.
