Voice Recorder

I got an Olympus Voice Recorder (model VN-3100PC) the other day, to use to record lectures in one of my classes.  How do I get Linux to download audio off of it?

Re: Voice Recorder

On what does it store data ? What is the format of the recorded files ? What ports does it use to connect to your machine ? Give some info if you expect some answers...

Re: Voice Recorder

Is it this one ? http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_secti … =1272&fl=4
128MB flash for wav ?

It's mentioned:

Recording Format CELP+ADPCM

I'm not trying to be harsh or anything but you know, at least help us to properly understand the situation... anyway, can you mount it at least ?

Re: Voice Recorder

Yes, I can, if I can figure out what the device is listed as in my system.

EDIT: I know it's using USB address 3.  And it shows up on lsusb.

Re: Voice Recorder

seems that you'll need this (Speex is based on CELP  and is designed to compress voice at bitrates ranging from 2 to 44 kbps.) to play your files.

Re: Voice Recorder

Okay.  But I still need to be able to access the files.
