Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

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.
