Hi,I also am running into a problem with file format. When it records messages (which it does fine) it records them in dvf digital voice file which I'm trying to find out how to convert into an mp3 file. We bought the recorder so we could record sermons and add them to our website but no one has heard of this file format and our website doesn't recognize it. Beware those of you looking to transfer these files into other media, you'll be able to hear it on your computer but you can't share it unless their systems can read dvf files. Major Sigh! If anyone has an answer to converting dvf to mp3 please post. Hi,I also am running into a problem with file format.

I'm Not sure How to explain how I did it.. but I changed the format of the File and then added it to my mp3 player. So I just wanted to let you know it can be done.. You may want to get someone who knows a little more about computers and converting files to come and help you guys out...

sound recorder in ubuntu linux makes "lossless" recording of whatever is played on the audio "mix" of the computer. Too bad Sony is supporting the Window$ monopoly.

I never found out. I did not like this digital recorder and could never get it to download to my computer. I gave it to the Goodwill with instructions for someone else to figure out.

According to the manual there is a random play mode with mp3. I have never used it myself.

The library's a great suggestion -- thanks! I called both SanDisk and Audible to complain about their mutual incompatibility and was told by both that it was up to SanDisk. Anyway, my lesson from all of this is that I should look into these things more thoroughly before I buy another player (which hopefully won't be any time soon!).

The files are not in the mp3 format that the device likes. I remember having to run all of the songs through 3 different mp3 converters before finding one that it liked. I searched through my folders to see which one I used but couldn't find it. It was a free converter I downloaded from the internet. The good news is once the files are converted and show on the system, your eclipse will be a very enjoyable device. I love mine! But it did take 3 days to get it up and running.

Thought of that too but not in the instructions. You can copy from mp3 to CD. So, I would try to copy from record to mp3 first and then take mp3 to copy to CD. It is still good. Get speakers and plug into back for bigger better sound. I love it with that!

If you record in mp3 format,there should be no problem in doing so. There are many Mp3 recording software programs out there.

Please check what format your music is in. If it's mp3 than you are okay, check if your sd card or sd card reader is functional

Same thing happened to me. It is the format you are saving the file as. I called their support and they told me the correct format. Sorry, I can't remember what is is. Give them a call and they will hook you up.

I've taken material off a cd and transferred it to an mp3. Seems like all the other recording stuff should work

Does the selection look for all file types, or just MP3 files. Can you select "All Files" and see everything on your player?

I have the same question. What program can I use on my computer to access what is recorded when I plug the recorder into the computer?

Amazon still has Pioneer Inno XM2GO portable radios, new and used, for sale, and you can record on them beingthat they are indeed in MP3 format. There are still some very good used deals available if you want to save some cash.

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

SueEllen - The only external output (other than the speaker) is a standard earphone jack. The recorder has no way of saving/exporting the audio in mp3 format or any other format. I suppose there may be software for PC/Mac/Linux to take input via a sound card and save it as an mp3 file, in which case connecting from the earphone jack to the sound card might work. But I assume you're looking for a more robust solution. This recorder definitely isn't designed for that purpose. From your question, I'm not sure if you have it already or not; I assume probably not. It's a very good recorder and a very good value, but very likely not what you'll want if saving the audio on a computer is a requirement.

I believe it was MP3 that it was supposed to be, however, the software needed for this device was no longer available from it's manufacturer. I had a device with no software to use it with. I attempted to find out from the seller, but was referred to the Xitel web site only to find that the company isn't around anymore and/or doesn't have any drivers for any devices they previously made. I felt like I bought an obsolete product that is no longer supported.

Do you know what I would use to export files in .wav format? I have a pc with the basic stuff. I would ultimately be using Audacity sound editing software. I've always used .wav files with it. I'm not to experienced with the tech side of things.Andrea
