Hi. Well, where do I begin. I think I'm very spoiled because I have a
20gig Creative Zen touch mp3 player. This player is magnificent
when it
comes to sound quality but I'm not able to use it because I can't
find the
Win7 drivers for the player so I can load it with music. I think it is
designed for XP users only. Giving I can't use it I was hoping the DM5
would have good sound reproduction and although it is reasonable at
a push,
it doesn't compare to the Zen Touch. My disappointment was
compounded when
I compared it with my mobile phone player which is superior to the
DM5 in
sound quality. The DM5 spoken menus are inadequate. It tells you the
track
name but you get very little info of how many tracks you have on the
player.
For example if I decide to play music by selecting artist then it
doesn't
give me the number of tracks in any particular artists folder and
also when
I arrow up and down the list, the reaction time is very slow and
that is
with speeding up the voice guidance. I'm inclined to just use my
mobile
for
music listening unless I can get a better player that will give me very
high
quality sound reproduction. Oh, nearly forgot, I have to increase the
volume to nearly full to get a good level of volume, it seems the DM5
output
signal is a low one. It would seem to me that the player is truly
meant as
a portable recorder and the music player function is an
afterthought. This
player has never really been used, I'm just getting to grips with
it. I
bought it a couple of years ago and it has lay in an equipment box ever
since and not been touched but maybe I'll consider selling it. Walter.

Walter, what is your problems with the music player? I think it have
less daisy functions then for music. What makes the music player less
appealing to you?

Hi
I have never used mine for other than a recorder, it is
great for that, I have not spent much time playing with the
other features. You spend a lot of money but only use a
portion of it.

Hi thanks for that. Actually, I don't think the mp3 player
in the DM5 is up
to much. I have a Nokia 2210 navigator and the player in
that phone is by
far superior. Therefore, I might not use the DM5 as a music
player but as
it has DAISY capability then that is what I may well use it
for. Walter.

Hi Walter
I think it just uses up to an 8 gb micro sd card, I checked
this when I got mine from olympus tech support.

Hi folks. Just a quick question about this voice recorder;
in your
experience, will the DM5 handle a 32gig micro SD card? The
manual says I
can use a 16gig but I'm wondering if it will see a 32gig
card. Walter.
