Gee whiz i skipped a week, thank you for your intense troubleshooting, i
understand what you are explaining. Since i only have 1 file to convert to
audio cd, i'm putting this issue on the back burner. Because my device is 6
years old (only 50 bucks), probably a newer recorder would function much
better without introducing a piece of 3rd party software. i did have an
issue when first attaching this device & locating the software drivers for
the vn-240pc when using with my vista computer & had to contact olympus, so
i'm assuming wmp11 & this device has a compatability issue.
Another question, with the data wav file on the hard disk of my computer, is
there a way to copy a portion of the file via wmp11? Another words, if the
file is 120 minutes, can i copy & save ex; from 15 to 30 minutes into the
file via wmp11?
again thanks for all your inputs on this subject.
