Hi! Just thought I'd write down a few notes on this recorder and how it integrates with the Mac computer, for a full review on this excellent piece of equipment please visit http://www.blindcooltech.com to hear Neil Hughes putting the H1 through its paces or take a look at my blog for further information.
The H! is a high quality audio recorder which records in either of 2 formats, MP3 or Wave. When recording in Wave format you can mark positions in your recording by pressing the play button. In Neil's review he talks about how these marks are compatible with Sound Forge - if you copy the file across to your computer you can open the file with Sound Forge and locate the portions of the file you marked whilst recording on the Zoom H1 whilst pressing the play button. That's all very nice but what if you're using the Mac? I've just ben recording with the Zoom H1 and inserted a fair few markers, all of which Amadeus Pro found in the wave file created without a problem, you use option left and right arrows to move between markers, use command-left and command-right arrows to select from one marker to another etc. When the Zoom H1 is connected to a USB port of your Mac it is detected without a problem and you'll see it as a drive in the main finder Desktop window. Copying from the H1 is perhaps a little slow but not too bad, the Victor Reader Stream for example is at a snails pace compared to this. You're supposed to be able to use the Zoom H1 as a sound device when connected to a computer via the USB cable, so far I've not managed to get this to work.
