Re: Olympus dm1 and dm10
Hi Kathy, As much as I know, the DM-10 is a DM-20 with just 64 megs of built-in memory, instead of the 128 megs, the DM-20 has. With the DM-1, you cannot record in stereo. The DM-1 can only record in the DSS format, while the DM-20 can use DSS or WMA (Windows Media Audio). Note, that even the DM-20 isn't very good for music recordings, because the highest recordable frequency is 7500 Hertz. Olympus deliberately limited the frequency spectrum, to avoid problems with the music industry. The best stereo recorders are the already mentioned Minidisc business machines MZ-B100 and MZ-B10 and the Plextalk PTR1. Sanyo has a couple of conference recorders, which can record in MP3 stereo. They have the same frequency limitations as the Olympus recorders, but they're nevertheless interesting. To get more information about these recorders, do a Google search for ICR-b160, ICR-B170 or ICR-B180. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hi again!

Olympus dm1 and dm10
Hi again! My thanks and appologies for not remembering who sent that very wise warning about the Olympus dm20; looks like I won't be buying that one!

My biggest concern, besides being able to have access to the functions, is that the ability to record voice in stero, which I'm guessing all the dDM models do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Olympus dm1 and dm10
Kathy, Please foregive me but I only joined this list this morning, what are you talking about? What kind of speech are you trying to record? I have posted a question about recording my screen reading voice while it is reading a document, is that some thing that this olympus thing could do? Where can I read about this thing you are talking about? Sorry for the repeating of your issue. Thanks, Shannon Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 9:05 PM Subject: Olympus dm1 and dm10 Hi again!

Re: Olympus dm1 and dm10
Shanon, the Olympus dm10 and dm1 are digital recorders, much like a cassette recorder or minidisk recorder, and it also plays mp3's. And they appear to be far cooler than cassettes or minidisks.
