DM-1 is great; ignore the bad reviews

I use this DM-1 every day to record meetings at a conference table.It picks up great, is reliable, easy to use.And with no mic.Do not use the mic!It is better without the mic.All the hooey about files and blah blah that people made complaints about, who cares!Just record your day's worth of proceedings, transfer it to your PC, back it up somewhere, and the next time you use the recorder, then delete the audio.Just know that you get crisp, loud, clear recording on this unit.I know at least 10 people...

Great device. Should be less expensive.

Long battery life, good storage, easy to use, usb connectivity works great on Apple Macintosh computers, only down side is you have to download playback software at Olympus website. this should be shipped on CD. there is no excuse for that omission as this software is over a year old when i bought recorder. there also seems to be no way to easily convert their audio format into the more common mp3 format.The price is a bit much too. Other than that, i highly recoomend this product....

Excellent to recorder lectures

I have used DM-1 to recorde lectures, and I am truly impressed by the quality of this unit.The microphone can pick up clear audio even when I sit several rows away from the instructor.The 64MB card can hold more than 10 hours of lectures.The unit accepts Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.So I keep two sets handy, and I never run out of batteries.When I come home, I can easily download the lectures to my PC via USB cable, and it sounds excellent on my computer.I love this unit!I think it is specifically...

I want my money back!

Please read the other 2 star reviews before buying! I didn't and... I wish I could have my money back.The product is just average. Hardly deserving the Olympus brand.As a recorder it... records! No editing, no inserting, if you want to see the date/hour data you have to go to the begining of the recording and be fast as the info will vanish in a split second.Also, if you rewind when listening at low volume, the volume will decrease! There are small software bugs like these, not serious but annoying...

MP3 Playback Compatibility For Mac OS Fix

I would have given it five stars but they dissed Apple by not providing MP3 compatibility. There is an MP3 driver that get's installed by the PC only, Music Match.I've done a lot of searching for freeware to come up with a fix for this. You can use Kilometre. I have a packet with directions for download but the review guidelines prevent me from posting a url for downloading. If you know of a really popular posting forum where I could put this, let me know. Thanks...
