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.

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.

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.

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
fairly robust piece of equipment; I'd have looked at it if I did not
already
have a stream.
Peace and decisions.

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.

howard, the plextalk pocket can do everything you are wanting to do as
well.
and is also completely blind friendly.

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.
Howard
