Beware Upgrading to 7.0.1 - Version: 7.0.1, 9/22/2008 03:09PM PST
McPherson2--2008
I have been happily using DSS Player with my RS26 foot pedal, but since upgrading to version 7.0.1 it no longer works. This is very odd because this footpedal is still available! What is the point of this software upgrade, if not to improve the Hardware sales for Olympus :(
Caution, 7.x only supports newer Olympus devices - Version: 7.0.1, 9/4/2008 10:33AM PST

A caution before updating: be aware that the 7.x software does NOT support several older but still commonly used Olympus recorders/devices. From the 7.0.1 ReadMe file:
"Note : DSS Player for MAC V7 does not support the following discontinued recorders DS-3000/2000/660/330/320/150/10, DM-1 and the RS-25 foot pedal. While direct recording is supported, Direct Recording in DSS LP mode and WMA fomat are not."
On a test machine, I tried installing the software anyway just to see what would happen, and the 7.x software DID NOT work with either my DS-2200 or DS-2000 recorders, nor did it work with the RS-25 pedal--just like the ReadMe indicated. Very sad as these devices are not that old.

Doesn't work - Version: 6.2.1, 5/24/2008 12:54PM PST

Intel mac, os 10.5.2. This miserable piece of software does not even see the rather lovely DS-30 digital voice recorder. Fortunately the computer does, and mounts it as a disc. Even better the .WMA files are seamlessly played by quicktime. It's still very annoying that the DSS player doesn't work as the files could be converted directly to AIFF on download if it did.
