Hi!
How accessible is it?
I guess if you’re lucky with it it must be very accessible.
By the way i saw a nice little recording device which was just a 
microphone with 2 or three buttons on.

Also a built in headphone jack and a slot for an micro sd card.
The price was to high but it seemed to do its job very nice.

Hi!


Well I guess at different times in our lives we all "Get Lucky" and 
such a time happened to me a few weeks ago.


I managed to purchase - in good condition - a Sony PCM-D50 digital 
audio recorder.


These recorders are at the low end of the professional recorder ranger 
from Sony and yet they do an excellent job, note the test I did with 
the recorder with a sample from the W9 speaker system.


I managed to find a review of the recorder which was originally 
distributed via the Blind Cool Tech website.


So what's the fuss? Listen here

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the 
audio
 recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the 
 Olympus
 DS-71, which I do have.

 I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree 
 of
 background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case when 
 set
 to wave recording and manual mic input levels.

 Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, 
 so I
 am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using an
 attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

 That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and 
 for
 so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice 
 recording
 capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially its
 super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

 Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level
 feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

 Tim

 Agreed!

 accessability is a very important factor but it doesn't equate to
 performance.
 I use the olympus DS-71 which does an excellent job for both mike and 
 line
 in recordings.
 Yes, you can monitor through headphones.
 I also like the fact that it uses AAA batteries that makes it easy to 
 swap
 them out if needed.

 I hear the Edital R9 is also a nifty unit

 What I know is that the PlexTalk Pocket is totally accessible, nicely
 packaged, has both manual and automatic level control, and does a very
 nice
 job of recording from the line injack.  I doubt any other digital
 recorder
 provides as much feedback, as this one is made for the blind.  Of 
 course,
 it
 may (or may not, I don't know) cost more than others of similar 
 quality,
 but
 there's no guesswork involved.  It's nice to be able to monitor through
 the
 speaker when making a line-in recording.

RE: Digital Recorders

[Amie Slavin]

HI Dane
Thanks for this.  I'm going for the Plextor, partly because a back-up DAISY
player is a bonus, but mainly because my primary pro' recorder is the Sony
PCM D50 which is usable rather than fully accessible, so rather than go for
an unknown quantity, I'm figuring the full access offered by the PLextor is
the clincher.  Am still coveting an IPod Touch though; sounds excellent, and
would much rather be using mainstream products.  Looking forward to hearing
more about how everyone gets on with the Touch, for future reference.
Thanks again.
Amie

Okay, I'm not sure about the pricing of the PTP but the 32GB Ipod Touch 
with Voiceover starts from around $150.00.  No, DAISY books won't play 
on the Ipod Touch at this time but are we talking players or recorders?

Yes, the Ipod Touch is fully accessible or as accessible as the 
developers of applications such as Voxie Recorder Professional choose to 
make their applications, all the functionality is in the Ipod Touch or 
Iphone so its just a matter of pointing this out to the developers 
should the need arise and - thankfully - with Voxie, their's no need for 
this.

 Anyone used the Touch as a recorder?  Is it really fully accessible?  
 Also, probably silly question this, but will daisy books play on it,
albeit
 with the legendary daisy formatting stripped out?

The Olympus dm-520 is a pocketable digital stereo voice recorder and music 
player.  It has voice guidance for the blind which makes it attractive.  It 
is not a multy track recorder  or talking book machine.

 Hi,

 Can someone please talk about the cost f these items? I am looking
 for a digital recorder that you can take anywhere, that has a good
 sound quality, but that is also affordable. I am on a budget.

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the
audio
 recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the
 Olympus
 DS-71, which I do have.

 I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a
 degree of
 background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case
 when set
 to wave recording and manual mic input levels.

 Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in
 port, so I
 am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are
 using an
 attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

 That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways,
 and for
 so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice
 recording
 capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and 
 especially

 its
 super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

 Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording
 level
 feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders

One of the features I really liked about this model was the system it had for

Hey there!
I'm just wondering what pocket recorder are you all talking about? Well, I 
have heard very much of the Olympus DM520 and such, but what is that pocket 
rugged? Just curious.
Actually, I haven't seen the olympus DM520 model, but I have seen the 
olympus DLS10, that's an Ok recorder, but if you don't want to have menus 
which don't wrap, maybe the Edirol r09 or r09hr works great for good 
recordings.
I have compared the r09 and r09hr, and to my surprise, the hr model sounds 
much better and it's builtin mike pre-amps noise is much less than the 
original r09 model.

Actually the Olympus DM series is more a music than a voice machine - 
hence

the M in its name. Though it isn't semi-pro in its recording capabilities.

I am interested, though, Have you personally used and compared both
machines?

I agree that the audio quality on the Pocket, if you add external mics may
be superior, but it is much much larger than the Olympus and its in-built
mike capabilities I think are inferior to the Olympus.

As an all-rounder player and recorder, the Pocket has much to offer, but 
it

is less convenient for quick recording tasks. the Olympus comes in to its
own as a 'take-anywhere' real pocket-sized recorder, with excellent 
balance

of features and quality for high-quality voice capture.

Thanks to all who commented.  I guess I'll be looking closer to the
Olympus
520 and 420.  The highest quality I want is when I bootleg concerts on
occasion.  Otherwise it'll be mostly voice:  meetings and such.  Would
like
to be able to use external mics and line in as well as to feed the 
output

to
my stereo.  Would like direct transfer of files between it and computer.

Thanks again.

RE: digital recorders

[Amie Slavin]

I've met the pocket.  It's tiny, like a mobile phone.  I think you must be
confusing it with another product in the range.

Actually the Olympus DM series is more a music than a voice machine - hence
the M in its name. Though it isn't semi-pro in its recording capabilities.

I am interested, though, Have you personally used and compared both
machines?

I agree that the audio quality on the Pocket, if you add external mics may
be superior, but it is much much larger than the Olympus and its in-built
mike capabilities I think are inferior to the Olympus.

 As an all-rounder player and recorder, the Pocket has much to offer, but it
is less convenient for quick recording tasks. the Olympus comes in to its
own as a 'take-anywhere' real pocket-sized recorder, with excellent balance
of features and quality for high-quality voice capture.

RE: Digital Recorders

[Amie Slavin]

So how to choose between IPod Touch and PTP then?  IF we're talking the 32
and 64 GB Touch versions then the price is pretty similar, is it not?
Anyone used the Touch as a recorder?  Is it really fully accessible?  
Also, probably silly question this, but will daisy books play on it, albeit
with the legendary daisy formatting stripped out?
Thanks

Re: Digital Recorders

Okay, I'm not sure about the pricing of the PTP but the 32GB Ipod Touch 
with Voiceover starts from around $150.00.  No, DAISY books won't play 
on the Ipod Touch at this time but are we talking players or recorders?


Yes, the Ipod Touch is fully accessible or as accessible as the 
developers of applications such as Voxie Recorder Professional choose to 
make their applications, all the functionality is in the Ipod Touch or 
Iphone so its just a matter of pointing this out to the developers 
should the need arise and - thankfully - with Voxie, their's no need for 
this.

I'm not sure of that as its something I've not needed to bother with, 
there's no ALC.


Perhaps for more advanced tasks like that you may wish to look at some 
of the docking solutions for Iphone and Ipod Touch which allow 
connection to musical instruments and other studio sources.

 the pocket is a good rugged machine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at
 all. I think in the long run, you would be better served by it as opposed
 to the Olympus dm-520. the Olympus is still a voice recorder after all.

 Thanks to all who commented.  I guess I'll be looking closer to the

 520 and 420.  The highest quality I want is when I bootleg concerts on
 occasion.  Otherwise it'll be mostly voice:  meetings and such.  Would
 like
 to be able to use external mics and line in as well as to feed the

Re: digital recorders

[Robert Logue]

I think the dm520 is the one to get.  The extra 2 gigs isn't the thing. 
It's the possibility of recording wav at 44.1 and 48 kHz.  The dm420 does 
not.  It only records MP3 up to 360k and wma up to 128k.  Not bad but isn't 
it ever so nice to have that 48 khz wav?


I've been messing around with the different mic settings.  I find they work 
quite well.  It is interesting combining different mic patterns with the 4 
different playback 3d headphone presets.  It records conferences and such 
really well.  I also found the recording around my home with the unit on the 
table and setting mics to narrow results in a very realistic 3d playback 
experience.  I was walking around my galley style kitchen with l shaped 
dining room.  It could record me clearly all the way to my bathroom and down 
halls.  When I played it back..  I was almost scared hearing my self walking 
around my suite.  Quite a ghostly experience.


I almost don't want to like the Olympus because they still do sum things 
poorly but this is such a good deal in a recorder, I can overcome my 
feelings.  Besides, it's good to have an extra high quality recorder anyway. 
Think my next recorder is going to be the Sony d-50.  I haven't heard 
anything better in a pocketable audio device, so far.  In my opinion. the 
Olympus is about as good a pocket recorder as the Edirol.  The Edirol 
whatsit has the edge in quality sound but not by much.  But, that Sony 
sounds suite!


Oh yah. Discovered using high sensitivity and auto recording works very 
well.  The compression is easy to monitor too so one can get an idea where 
to set manual  levels later.  A few times the compressor was off balance, 
(only effecting the right side).  An interesting bug in the compressor that 
has already taught me a lot how this compressor works.  I'd say it is quite 
workable.


On the other hand... Handling noise is just bad.  But ironically, using high 
sensitivity, narrow microphone pattern,  and the low cut filter can get 
better results.

Thanks to all who commented.  I guess I'll be looking closer to the 
Olympus 520 and 420.  The highest quality I want is when I bootleg 
concerts on occasion.  Otherwise it'll be mostly voice:  meetings and 
such.  Would like to be able to use external mics and line in as well as 
to feed the output to my stereo.  Would like direct transfer of files 
between it and computer.


Thanks again.

Re: digital recorders

I really would like to hear some comparisons between the Plextalk Pocket, 
the GW Book Sence and my dm-520.  I actually wouldn't be suprised of one of 
the first two was as good or better at some things as the Olympus and maybe 
not far behind in other important areas.


So, I'll be glad to have a choice for talking book player/recorder now.

in what way do you have   the mantiance issues, the plextalk pocket has had 
no issues that would not make it a viable recorder/ player, if you are 
talking about firmware take a lookagain.

RE: digital recorders

Didn't say I did.  I don't own one at all; I'm just recalling some things I
vaguely remember hearing in the past few months.  Not having been really
interested in the unit I only idly remember.  But it does mean that one
should research before buying.

I know there was some or other article comparing the book sense, the

Where recording quality and flexibility  was concerned, they came to the

RE: digital recorders

[Tim Noonan]

Actually the Olympus DM series is more a music than a voice machine - hence
the M in its name. Though it isn't semi-pro in its recording capabilities.

I am interested, though, Have you personally used and compared both
machines?

I agree that the audio quality on the Pocket, if you add external mics may
be superior, but it is much much larger than the Olympus and its in-built
mike capabilities I think are inferior to the Olympus.

 As an all-rounder player and recorder, the Pocket has much to offer, but it
is less convenient for quick recording tasks. the Olympus comes in to its
own as a 'take-anywhere' real pocket-sized recorder, with excellent balance
of features and quality for high-quality voice capture.

Re: digital recorders

[Gary Schindler]

I haven't seen the DM-520 yet, but will eventually get one for the reasons 
you have outlined. it isn't bad for the money. I think one of the things I 
like is the ability to split wave files into smaller ones. I think you can 
delete portions of a wave file too.

the pocket is a good rugged machine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one at

I think in the long run, you would be better served by it as opposed to 
the

Olympus dm-520. the Olympus is still a voice recorder after all.

Well clearly these are for different markets.  Your/our 520's aren't 
going

to read NLS books.  I will say that I have heard from a distance that the
Plex has had maintenance issues.  It seems to me that the booksense is a

Thanks to all who commented.  I guess I'll be looking closer to the
Olympus
520 and 420.  The highest quality I want is when I bootleg concerts on
occasion.  Otherwise it'll be mostly voice:  meetings and such.  Would
like
to be able to use external mics and line in as well as to feed the

Re: digital recorders

[Jamie Pauls]

It is also easy to hook the recorder to your PC and transfer files from it 
for editing on the computer. I have been playing with the recorder set to 
low microphone sensitivity using the Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural 
microphones made famous by Larry Skutchan in most of his early Blind Cool 
Tech environmental podcasts or sound-seeing tours as they were called then. 
I had forgotten how stunningly good those mikes are and the recorder does 
them proud. I have not done any serious recording as of yet, but will pass 
along some listening samples as soon as I have something worth listening to.

Hi!

I haven't been following this thread till now so please excuse me if what
I'm about to say has already been mentioned.

If you by chance own an Iphone or New Ipod Touch then you already have a
digital recorder right there in the palm of your hand, the Iphone has a
built-in microphone but you can purchase a stereo microphone according to
the Iphone User guide and that's where the fun starts and the Iphone becomes
even more amazing than you already thought and knew it to be smile

The Iphone comes with a Voice Memo recorder which does what it was
designed to do well so let's take the art of recording to a whole new level
on a mobile device with Voxie Recorder Pro for $2.50 Australian from the
Itunes Store, connect your stereo mic and you're away recording at a maximum
sampling rate of44.1KHZ stereo if that's what you need.

Voxie Recorder Pro has many settings and features including Express 
mode, shake the Iphone to start and stop recording, you hear a tone from the
phone when recording starts or stops.  If you want to use the software for
just voice recordings then take advantage of the transcription services
offered by the software.

Recorded something and you wish to transfer it to your computer or computers
via your network or via the Internet through the world? No problem, record
and share With Voxie Recorder Pro.

Still finding out mroe about this software as I play with it more.

Cheers

I just don't think you could go wrong with the Olympus DM520 for what you
say you want and it has a less hefty price tag than the Plextalk.  Of
course, I was actually happy with the DS50 I had until it was stolen; but
realistically the DM520 is much superior.  So I guess it all depends.

Depending on your needs, the Olympus DM-420 or 520 might meet them. The

high quality, and easy to use.  Just started looking at Olympus LS10. 
Has anyone used that one?

Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks.
Howard

Hello jamie!
what kind of binaural microphones did you ordered? did you ordered those
that I recommended you? if so, I can only say, you will love them.
Good luck and regards,

Depending on your needs, the Olympus DM-420 or 520 might meet them. The 
recorder has voice prompts that allow many functions of the recorder to be 
set by a blind person. I have just ordered the binaural mikes used on many 
Blind Cool Tech podcasts and will be posting some audio somewhere when I 
have a chance to play with them a bit.

I would go for the DM-520,
because you can split wave files and parcial erase them to! I think they 
will phase out the  DS-71 soon anyway.

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the 
audio
recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the 
Olympus

DS-71, which I do have.

I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a 
degree of
background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case 
when set

to wave recording and manual mic input levels.

Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in 
port, so I
am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are 
using an

attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, 
and for
so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice 
recording
capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially 
its

super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording 
level

feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

Tim

What I know is that the PlexTalk Pocket is totally accessible, nicely
packaged, has both manual and automatic level control, and does a very
nice
job of recording from the line injack.  I doubt any other digital
recorder
provides as much feedback, as this one is made for the blind.  Of 
course,

it
may (or may not, I don't know) cost more than others of similar quality,
but
there's no guesswork involved.  It's nice to be able to monitor through
the
speaker when making a line-in recording.

Hi all,

Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders recently
discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality 
recordings

from an external source via line-in?  e.g. a satellite receiver.

I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect of
performance is of limited interest.

Any views much appreciated.

Cheers,

as far as I know it does, to be a bit more clear, I do alot! of automobile 
recordings, just random outdoors, some indoor recordings, and am looking for 
something that will get almost crystal clear sound, for the past 5 years, I 
have been using a dell latitude d520's built in mike with audacity and only 
problem some times is the computer emits a ringing noise not to loud that if 
I am for example recording a startup of a vehicle it will over power it at 
all, but if its killed or I turn the vehicle off the sound can be herd some 
times.  thanks again!

What I know is that the PlexTalk Pocket is totally accessible, nicely
packaged, has both manual and automatic level control, and does a very
nice
job of recording from the line injack.  I doubt any other digital
recorder
provides as much feedback, as this one is made for the blind.  Of 
course,

it
may (or may not, I don't know) cost more than others of similar 
quality,

but
there's no guesswork involved.  It's nice to be able to monitor 
through

the
speaker when making a line-in recording.

I would go for the DM-520,
because you can split wave files and parcial erase them to! I think they 
will phase out the  DS-71 soon anyway.

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the 
audio
recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the 
Olympus

DS-71, which I do have.

I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree 
of
background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case when 
set

to wave recording and manual mic input levels.

Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, 
so I
am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using 
an

attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and 
for
so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice 
recording
capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially 
its

super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level
feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

Tim

RE: Digital recorders again - Plextalk Pocket and Olympus DS-71

[Dave McElroy WA6BEF]

My DS50 was lost or stolen on our European trip so now I'm trying to figure
out where to go from here.  Guess I'll listen to that Main Menu and hear
what they have to say.  My lady, Pam has the R9 and nice though it is she
can't change the settings without help and I really don't like that aspect
of the unit.

What is the Plextalk going for pricewise?  And would I need an external mic
to record in stereo?  

Thanks.

Hi,

Can someone please talk about the cost f these items? I am looking for a 
digital recorder that you can take anywhere, that has a good sound quality, 
but that is also affordable. I am on a budget.



Sincerely,

Lauren

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the audio
 recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the Olympus
 DS-71, which I do have.

 I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree of
 background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case when set
 to wave recording and manual mic input levels.

 Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, so 
 I
 am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using an
 attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

 That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and for
 so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice 
 recording
 capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially its
 super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

 Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level
 feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

 Regards
 Tim

 Yes, you can monitor through headphones.
 I also like the fact that it uses AAA batteries that makes it easy to swap
 them out if needed.

 I hear the Edital R9 is also a nifty unit

 That statement should probably be qualified: It may well be the most

 but have no reason to believe otherwise, but there are better recording

 Hi all,

 Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders recently
 discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality recordings
 from an external source via line-in?  e.g. a satellite receiver.

 I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect of
 performance is of limited interest.

 Any views much appreciated.

 Cheers,

 Tim.

Hi,

Many thanks to everyone for your replies, it was most interesting to read 
all the various opinions.


Following on from this, a couple of further questions.  Firstly does anyone 
know off hand the aproximate cost of the plextalk pocket in the U.K?  Also 
has anyone had direct experience of using both the pocket and Edirol 09hr, 
and could offer a comparison  on the recording quality of both, in 
particular via line-in.


Many thanks,

Tim.

[Caroline Ford]

Tim,

If you go to the RNIB online shop at

http://www.rnib.org.uk/shop

and search for Plextalk Pocket, you will find plenty of information about
the player.  It is available in two colours - black or white - and costs
£279.99 ex VAT.  You will also be able to find out about the accessories,
such as spare batteries, and even download a copy of the instruction manual.

Caroline.

RE: Digital recorders again - Plextalk Pocket and Olympus DS-71

[Tim Noonan]

I would guess, in the  absence of no hard comparative data, that the audio
recording quality of the Pocket is quite a bit better than is the Olympus
DS-71, which I do have.

I find the Olympus, across a range of external mics does have a degree of
background hiss (preamp noise or circuit noise). This is the case when set
to wave recording and manual mic input levels. 

Also, The Olympus doesn't actually have a line in, only a mic in port, so I
am curious about line in recording quality, and whether you are using an
attenuation cable to reduce the line in signal to mic levels?

That all said, I absolutely love my Olympus DS-71 in so many ways, and for
so many reasons: its  extraordinarily flexible and effective voice recording
capabilities, battery life and replaceable batteries, and especially its
super compact size makes it a take everywhere audio device.

Speaker monitoring of line in recordings, and audible recording level
feedback are features unique to the Plextalk recorders.

Regards
Tim

Agreed!

accessability is a very important factor but it doesn't equate to 
performance.
I use the olympus DS-71 which does an excellent job for both mike and line 
in recordings.
Yes, you can monitor through headphones.
I also like the fact that it uses AAA batteries that makes it easy to swap 
them out if needed.

I hear the Edital R9 is also a nifty unit

 Hi all,

 Just wondering, which one of the flash memory based recorders recently
 discussed here, would be most suitable for making high quality recordings
 from an external source via line-in?  e.g. a satellite receiver.

 I don't intend recording via microphone, so that particular aspect of

Sunshine,
Does your statement mean that you have tried all of the recorders in the 
Plextalk Pocket's price class and compared their technical specifications 
and recordings with those of the Plextalk Pocket?

How do you do line in recordingd with the DS-71 since it is a voice recorder. you 
can't compare the Olympus recorders in the same class as the Edirol or Plextalk 
pocket.

Yeh!
And I would take a recommendation on my next purchase on a guess!

BTW:  I had a PTP and gae it back due to it's crappy firmware and terrible

If you are not worried about the storage capacity, get it. you don't get the 
remote, but to save $100.00 you may think it is worth it. I like mine! I use 
the DSS player software and download the materials from the recorder and 
erase the recording from the machine.

 It all depends on what you really want to do with the Olympus recorder.  I
 have the DS30  and like it just fine.  Now I will say,  I just use it for
 notes, and phone numbers, and messing around.  A speech are two every once
 an a while.  That's about it.  On HQ mono, which is what I use most of the
 time,   the DS30 will give you over 18 hours of recording time.
 With excellent quality,  So again I would make your choices, according to
 what you really want to do  with your recorder.

RE: Digital Recorders Revisited

[Martin, Tim A., NMDOT]

Hi Don,

This is Tim.  Does the recorder you wrote about have a power adaptor
jack where you can run it without having to use batteries?

Also, is it possible to move the recorded files to a PC via the USB?  It
sounds like a good recorder.  I read the specs on the 50 along with the
30, and the main differences seem to be memory...256 mb over 1 gb.

I've attached some information on the 30 if anyone wants to read up on
it...See below.

This is a copy from the sight where I found the information.  Make sure
and read the entire document.

The Olympus DS-30 Digital Voice Recorder bridges the gap between work
and play. In
addition to capturing audio of meetings, interviews and other critical
information
expected of digital recorders, the DS-30 is optimized for downloading,
listening
to and creating podcasts. The recorder's high sound quality is also
great for listening

The Olympus DS-30 is also distinguished by a number of premium features,
including
the highest sound quality in the Olympus line-up with the remarkable new

Sound Quality mode. The DS-30 voice recorder can record and play audio
content up
to 44.1kHz, which is equal to the sound quality of most CDs. A
convenient removable
stereo microphone is included for recording high-quality digital audio.
The Olympus
DS-30's Voice Guidance function talks to users, confirming which

to keep an interviewee at ease, which in turn can lead to more
entertaining and informative
podcasts.

automated voice guides users through the onscreen menus for setting
date, time and
other menu selecting modes. It also confirms by stating the folder name

Re: Digital Recorders Revisited

[Don]

I haven't noticed an adapter jack.  How ever, the battery life, is great.  I 
think they claim around 35 hours, depending on what you are doing.  So I 
have never worried  much about using batteries.
It does have a jack too plug in an included USB cable.  It all so came with 
software.  How ever I never installed it.  That's because your computer will 
see it as another drive.  And you can just copy and past files.
I think the  only thing besides memory, is on the DS50 you get some kind of 
included remote control,  but again for my uses, I just don't even  need the 
remote.

Hello, 

Thank you so much for the information about the Olympus DS30. They also
sell them at Office Max, which is where I'll go, since I like to be able
to try an audio device before buying it. Thanks again.

Re: Digital Recorders Revisited

[Bobcat]

The ds-30 works as well as the other models.  Only, it only has 250 
megabytes of memory.  Also, I think the case is plastic instead of mettle.

I wish I could get the ds-50 locally because it also comes with a case.  The 
units don't have a pocket clip so a case is kind of important.  One can 
order the case but you still don't have as much memory and recording time 
with the other models.

 Hello Again Everyone,

 Since I am having trouble finding either the Olympus DS40 or the DS50,
 what do you all think about the Olympus DS30? I have found two places in
 my city where I can buy it. Thank you very much for your help.

 hi everyone. i've been looking for a digital recorder for what seems
 like forever. i'd like to record my highschool reunion's concert in
 the summer, but the only thing I have is casettes. I was wondering if
 anyone knew of a good, accessible digital recorder and mics that i
 can get in canada? I'm an ebay member, but would prefer not to have
 to go that route. Thanks so much for any help.

  Hi,
 
  I use an Olympus WS320.  it has 1GNB of flash memory and can record WMA
at
  64kbps stereo for 35 hours.  Although not fully accessible, its buttons
 beep
  in ways that it is very easy to learn to use the unit.

Re: digital recorders?

[Michael Lang]

You'd proberbly want a multitrack recorder. Perhaps one can do that with
the Edirol R4.

   *** Michael Lang ***

You wrote:

 I have read on one site where they had a good description of the
 R-1, that you can't record simultaniously from the mic input and the line
 input. Apparently the line input over rides the mike.
 This seems a serious shortcoming if you want to mix live background and
 narration. Can anyone confirm this.
 If this is so, what would be the next model up in quality that would allow
 for mixing of background and mike.
