Hi Don. I have an olympus ds330. it has a built-in speaker, it comes bundled with software that I needed sighted help for with only mouse click then all the rest was accessible and continues to be so. Erasing is easy, and when all are erased, it beeps. I do not believe you can vary the compression rate, except that you have 2 modes standard and extended play and standard is about phone quality, e p lay is old telephone quality. You transfer the files to your pc via the usb port. You can configure it to automatically change the files from dss to wav, which is nice. if you want to hear the quality of standard play, visit the acb radio csun diary and check out some of the interviews from the exhibit area.
