Those awesome little Olympus recorders work great with Mac OS
In honor of the brand-new Olympus VN-8100PC digital voice recorder (see it now at B&H), I made a new, very brief how-to page today:
Olympus digital audio recorders and your Mac
There are still some sadly uninformed people who claim Olympus recorders do not work with the Mac OS. They are wrong!

While I strongly recommend that you invest in the Zoom H2 recorder (see it now at B&H), if you’re on a tight budget, the newer* Olympus recorders are your next best option. I’ve been using a VN-5200PC for several years now. It’s with me pretty much all the time in my purse, and it’s none the worse for being bumped around.
* The ones that save WMA files and include a USB connection.
