Well, you can always go to the file properties and see if it will read them. If not, then I suggest you look at the dm7. Its a new model, and for the first time ever, its now possible to set the date and time and it speaks everything, even file properties. I also were able to set the recording timer, alarm and using the skedular or calendar easily. Its truly the most accessible ever.
