I side with those who think the Stream isn't up to Podcast standards . Then again, depends on the material, and I suppose a shortish piece consisting simply of speech would be acceptable done with the Stream.
For better quality, easier on the ear, podcasts that might include some music, then why not the PTR2 to take one example? The stream is meant as a notetaker come conference recording machine which is no doubt why it uses this peculiar, proprietorial compression system.

And, remember that at this point there is the issue of converting the file type to something that more people can use like *.WAV and *.MP3. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald L.
