iTunes will play WAV natively as well (my iTunes library is all junked up with voicemails in WAV format). For editing, the free program Audacity is excellent, in my opinion.

Yes. I use the older R-1 all the time. Quicktime will play WAV native I believe. I don't know what you plan to use. I use Peak or Audiocity and they both work fine.

amazon forwarded me your questions since I purchased this unit from them in past (and love it by the way) - am not 100% sure if it is compatible but I would imagine it is since you can import directly into your Mac as a Wav file and then flip it into MP3 or any format you wish - which in turn should work with those programs which I assume are audio text reading programs......but better to go to a Mac message board rather than a SONY or Amazon one to get exact correct answer -

It uses a software called Soundsaver and you can download it online. Soundsaver for Mac. So I'm changing my answer to yes. It works really well and you cant beat the price on Amazon..

I use a mac with OX 10.4 and I was able to transfer files to my computer. There is DSS software free online or with the CD that comes with this machine. The files also play on iTunes if you use the DSS software to convert the files into aiff files. You might want to use the DSS software for transcription because you can change the playback speed with that.

I am sorry, but I used it with Windows. I can tell you that since it was not compatible with my version, it directed me to the website to download the appropriate version and had no problems afterwards. Sorry I can't help you with the Mac OS, since I do not have it. I can tell you that if it were to work with the Mac OS, it is worth it. I must tell you, quality of sound recorded will depend upon the quality of your cassette tape sound, which is almost obvious, but I thought I should mention it. Good luck in finding your answer :-)

Well, I bought mine a few days ago and recorded some voice /guitar at home. The recorder was easy to use and the results sound clean. It is very easy to transfer into my Mac and to burn a CD. However my CD will not play in my Sony sound system and I was very disappointed to find that the CD is only usable in a computer. I am not at all tech savvy and at age 75, I probably never will be. I even put the wav files through a software that changed them to AIFF bu all I get is a loud buzz from my CD player. Does this sound right?

I wasn't able to install Soundsaver on my iMac, plus there is no support available anywhere. Get Audacity, it's free and works just fine.

I just bought my first apple product and talked to the sales person about that very thing. From what I understand you can only use itunes downloads on apple product. However, if you can make CDs from your itune files you can turn around and load them on your computer and put them on an MP3. I have every CD I every bought on my computer and put them all on my MP3. However, I can not recommend buying this product because mine never worked right. I can't turn up the volume enough to hear it well through headphones or speakers. I have bought one of these brand new and they are a good product but this one is reconditioned and it must not have been done right. :/ I just bought my first apple product and talked to the sales person about that very thing.

Sorry, I don't use the download aspect, but all I do is create wav file (lossless) from cd rip from windows media player from my cds onto the hardrive and then transfer the files to the Sony player and the sounds would just simply be "Awesome"...

I only have the PC version of PitchSwitch, which definitely works with WAV (as well as mp3, m4a, wma, aac, flac, and ogg). I would be very surprised if the Mac version did not support the same file formats, particularly since WAV is a commonly-used format.

I do not have a MAC. The software was for the Windows OS. You might contact Audacity to see if there is a download for MAC.

I use MediaMonkey to convert WMA files to WAV format. Then I edit them in Audacity. I think there are also several other WMA to WAV converters listed on download.com, but I haven't personally tried them out.

This means that you must have already installed "burning software" to handle whatever iso or other video/audio files that you need to "burn" onto the Pawtec. There are lots of choices for PC, not so many for Mac. A free PC software/convertor program is "Freemake". This you can get directly from a CNET download. It will even work to make BD files now. Other choices abound. For iMac Mavericks I use Leawo's software. It can be tried for free, and the cost is $39,00 for a one-year license ($59,00 for lifetime). For Macs, you might also consider Toast (check for latest version). I can say that the Blu-Ray quality from Leawo is excellent, with "burn" fairly quick "burn" times on 25G BD-R or 50G BD-RE disks.

It should have come with a file with that info. I do not use the program as other programs work much better. Garage Band for the Mac is perfect, you would have to look up PC versions.

I'm not sure what you mean by "other software", since you did not mention one. I used Audacity - a free download that works very well. It took me a little time to figure it out (I never used anything like it) but, once I got it, it went very well. If you use Audacity, you will end up with two files, a data file and the music/audio file. I did not do anything with the data file. When a transfer is done and you click on file, it will give the option to export as an MP3, which I did to iTunes. Hope you figure it out.

I ran the software in a Windows VM on Mac OSX. It's been a while since I set it up, but I probably did it that way because there was no OSX version. Hope this helps.

I already owned a version of Cakewalk, so I didn't pay a lot of attention to it, but yes, it does come with some version of Cakewalk recording software. I would check what verion, but can't find the disc. I think you would be safe to assume that all sellers would have the same version in the box.
