Better recording stuff comming out ALL the time. It'd be cool if you could tell us about the software that comes with it. :) I’m glad the WS-200S has those great new features for the same price as the DS-2.

I went and looked at the reviews and decided to go with the Olympus WS-200S. It's a followup to the DS-2 with twice the memory and a USB plug that folds out of the back, like a USB key. They're going for around $100-$120 right now, depending on which merchant you use. I won't have it in time for CTCNet, unfortunately, but I'm going to Korea next week and West Africa a few weeks after that, so it should be a killer mobile audio recorder for on-the-go recording.... -ac Thanks for the suggestion!

I just installed the DSS Player app that comes with the DS-2 and I really like it. I thought it would be vapor ware. But no! It actually converts the WMA files to AIFF! Too cool. Now if the dang device would just record <b>straight</b> to WAV or AIFF! Thanks for mentioning the EasyWMA app. I’ve tried it and like it a lot.

You did mention it's stereo farther down. That's what I get for being too excited and commenting too soon. ;) I'm on a Macintosh iBook so I use easyWMA to convert the WMA files to MP3s. It's free and available at http://www.carrafix.com/EasyWMA/ ... compatible with Tiger, too. Oh, I didn’t read very carefully. You did mention it’s stereo farther down.

That's awesome that you picked up the DS-2. It is rather nifty! One thing that might be worth mentioning is that it's stereo, too. I need to get around to using mine, more. Hey Brian!
