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 :(

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.

This software has always been crap and this just adds insult to injury. I have no complaints with the DS-40 digital voice recorder but the accompaning software sux and then Olympus has the nerve to charge you $10 to upgrade to Plus. Are you kidding me? Charge me $10 to upgrade to features that aren't even available to me? Rubbish.
