Re: [M100] Any writers still using an M100?

I’ve used M102 occasionally for conference and meeting memos at work. The keyboard is good, so I can type without looking at the screen and still get a readable memo. The only extra hassle is transferring the files. > Kurt McCullum kirjoitti 3.11.2017 kello 4.02: > >

Thanks for trying it out! It would be great to get that working, but the GSM voice compression of a mobile phone is tough beast to beat. Also, some 'retro' handsets say they 'enhance' the sound, thus I believe there might some filters in those. One standard data protocol that is able to go

What's wrong with C-cassettes? Unless you have a ton of data, those are a cheap storage option. And if you do not want to use them, you can get a decent drive made out of any voice recorder (mp3, wav...) that supports high bitrates with low compression. For example, 48kHz uncompressed wav.
