Yes, it does, but only if you use the standard firmware, with which the recorder cannot be used as a universal mass storage device. With the standard firmware, one has to use propriatary software to transfer files from and to the iRiver. To use it as a USB drive, one has to use an alternative firmware, also from iRiver. With that, one can only record up to 96 KBPS. The most accessible flash recorder is the new Plextalk PTR2. Flash makes no noise, which is good, because one doesn'T have motor noise on ones recordings. But it also causes a Problem, because one cannot hear, whether the recorder does anything or not. Also the menus of these recorders offer a lot of options, but for blind people, they make such a device a bit difficult to use. A talking flash recorder like the PTR2 IMHO is a great solution. <*** Michael Lang ***> _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
