Hello: Yes, you can activeSync your recordings to the computer. They are in WAV format, so they are easily editable with something like GoldWave or SoundForge (My personal favorite). As for where the streams play from, they either need to be an .mp3 stream, or a .wma stream and must start from the current window.
As to where the internal microphone is located on the MPower, I'm honestly not sure, but I believe it to be on top near the speakers as the internal microphone recording works best with the unit sitting directly in front of me on the desk top in the normal typing position. But, with the microphone gain sufficiently raised, it will easily pick up conversations at a table full of people. For an example of this, go to Jonathan's web page and listen to his late night recordings from Vegas which were recorded on the MPower. His web page is located at http://www.mosen.org. hth Jeff
