My copy came on a disk with the recoder.

My recorder came with Windoze software only.

Before I bought it, I spoke to Olympus.

Olympus told me it came with Mac software and was 100% Mac compatible.

After I bought it and I found `no Mac software' (the day after the above
enquiry), I rang Olympus again.

Olympus then told me it did not come with Mac software and wasn't
`officially' Mac compatible at all.

Perhaps people can understand why I don't believe much of what I'm told
these days.

It's jst called DSS Player and
it's a Universal Binary at version 7.0.1.

This is the app on VersionTracker:

Yeah, doesn't work with the files my recorder creates - and it's an
update in any case... All that stuff's on the Olympus Web site.

I also see DSS lite for OSX is from Olympus here:

<http://downloads.olympus-europa.com/consumer/VoiceRecorder/620/DSS_Play
er-Lite2_for_Mac.sit>

Umm. Doesn't work. My recorder doesn't use the appropriate file
format, so it seems.

However, the software I need is in the post and the recorder appears to
be 100% Mac compatible if you ask me...
