How To Get A Sony Digital Voice Recorder MSV File To Play On Mac?

Hi...
I have a Sony Digital Voice Recorder that (I guess) puts it’s recording’s into a MSV format. I’ve done a Google search and found conversion software...
But does anyone have any recommendations or is my Mac capable of the conversion with it’s assortment of software already?
Thank you in advance
Comments, suggestions and opinions are appreciated.....

Hi Catharsis,
Switch for OSX does NOT convert MSV files. The only way to do it is with something like CrossOver or Parallells with a windows installation and use the Sony software.
Had I known this prior, I would not have bought the Sony product which in all other respects is a good piece of equipment. (ICS MX20)

  • How do I upload a digital voice recording to iTunes 10?

    I have a new Olympus VN8100 digital voice recorder that I used the other day to record a meeting.  The instructions tell you how to hook it up to a Mac and how to dismount it, but not what to do in between to upload the recording to a computer. 
    I did manage to burn the recording to a CD-R, but I can't find  an "Import CD" option in the File menu, so I haven't been able to store it on my Mac.  When I select "Add to Library...", neither the burned CD-R nor the VN8100 icon shows up in the list of Desktop items. 
    I can't even figure out how to play back the CD I burned to make sure it burned successfully--iTunes Help doesn't offer anything useful and the tutorials don't cover that.
    I assumed I could put a spoken recording on my computer with the iTunes application, but maybe that's changed with iTunes 10?  Can anyone walk me through this?  Thanks so much for your help!

    Thanks for the software suggestion - http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Audio/Audio-Recorder.shtml - it looks good. Why do you use it instead of Garage Band?
    Had it before GB existed; I use other audio software for other tasks, but this one is probably the most easy to use app (of any kind) I've ever used. Click, speak, click, click. Done, with file sitting on my desktop.

  • Recordings from my Sony digital voice recorder transferred from WindowsXP  to my new Mountain Lion iMac but will not open to hear. Is there a program to give me access to these important records?

    All my material moved from my Windows XP to my new desktop Mac Mountain Lion, including the important recordings from my Sony digital IC voice Recorder , but they will  not open in a form to be listened to. Is there a program available to give access to these audio files and allow continued use of this recorder ?

    It is a proprietary Sony format, you will need help from them.

  • How can I install a digital voice recorder on my IPAD

    I attempted to install a voice recording device on my IPAD and it kept telling me that it did not support it... what do I do to install a voice recording device on my IPAD...

    IPad is not like a laptop computer. If the device you are trying to plug into an iPad is not iOS or iDevice compatible it will not work.
    What version of iOS is your iPad2 using?
    What device are you trying to use with your iPad?

  • How can I download from digital voice recorder (DS-2000) into itunes?

    I would like to download recordings from my Olympus DS-2000 into itunes so I can then burn a cd for use elsewhere. However, when I connect the DS-2000 to my G5 the recorder goes into remote mode and doesn't show up on the desktop as an unidentified icon. It seems the only way I am able to download from the recorder is to open the Olympus software and download into it. When I do that I can't seem to move the files to itunes or the desktop. Olympus support told me they don't support the "pro" digital recorders, but said their software is not compatible with Apple.
    Has anybody experienced this problem? Any suggestions on how I would be able to accomplish this task? I'd appreciate all input. Thanks.

    hello popfaux,
    how is it set-up? perhaps you need to double check it's connected right?

  • I'm trying to extract audio files from my OLYMPUS Digital Voice Recorder VN-6200PC I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document "VN622195.WMA" could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

    I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document “VN622195.WMA” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

    The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files).  Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac.  You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

  • Digital Voice Recorder for MAC?

    I recently switched from PC to MAC and am very happy I did.
    I just have 1 thing that still need to use my PC for - I use a digital recorder almost daily, and then email the recordings to different people.
    I use a Sony so I can't use it on my MAC.
    I am looking for a digital voice recorder that is as easy to use as my current one, I just plug it into my PC, open the software it came with, and it converts it to MP3 and then I attach it to the specified email and away it goes.
    I tried an Olympus but the effort it would have taken to convert it to MP3 was ridiculous.
    I would love some suggestions...
    Thanks!
    Glenyce

    I use an older Olympus myself, rather similar to this one, and though it records in WAV format rather than mp3 it is really pretty simple converting the files if you wish. The ones that Dave Sawyer links to look better for your purposes , though.
    Sony make Mac compatible recorders which record directly into mp3 these days, too, though. See here, for example. Or this one.
    eww's suggestion looks good , too.
    There are a lot of choices out there. The best selection depends on what quality level you require for the recording, how important small size is, whether you will be using external mics, how much storage capacity you need, how much you are prepard to spend, etc etc. Might be easier to refine recommendations if you could provide a bit more info about such things.
    Cheers

  • Digital Voice Recorder

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a digital voice recorder whose USB connectivity will work with OS X.
    Olympus seems to pop up a lot in my searches:

    Sony, too:

    And Panasonic:

    Has anyone had any luck with using any of these recorders on a Mac? It is not very specific on any of their websites as to whether or not the product is compatible. I am going to try and dig up some more info from the companies directly, but figured here would be a good place to check for hands-on experience and recommendations. The Olympus one with the camera (W-10) looks pretty nifty to me. Don't need a digital camera specifically, so it would just be an added bonus.
    Let me know if I'm going at all in the right direction or if there is somewhere else I should be looking.
    Thanks for your help

    Olympus seems to be the only one that supports Mac and has a nice OS X native connection software. My girlfriends Panasonic does not work on Mac. So to play safe, get Olympus.

  • Olympus Digital Voice Recorder (VN960PC)

    I have an Olympus Digital Voice Recorder (VN960PC). On the Olympus site they have no Mac OSX software [though they do have it for the Dark Side] that will allow me to download the audio files onto my mac mini [PPC].
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there any software that might enable me to do this outside of going to Boot Camp or Virtual PC?

    Hi, bikinijack.
    1. With the particular digital voice recorder you have, I suspect you are going to be out of luck. Olympus offers DSS Player for Mac OS X for their higher-end units, i.e. their DS-series digital voice recorders.
    2. I presume you've tried connecting the VN-960PC to your Mac via USB cable and found that its built-in storage does not mount on the desktop. True?
    3. I suspect DSS Player is not going to work with your VN-960PC, but if you hada DS-series recorder, here's how I'd advise you, based on having previously researched this question for a person with a DS-series player:The short answer is that if you install the DSS Player application that comes with their digital voice recorders, and then install the "DSS Player for Mac (OS X) V6 Update to V6.0.4" — which can be found using their Support - Downloads Web page — then the DSS Player software will work with Tiger.
    They are planning to update their Web site to reflect this as well as provide a FAQ. The basic instructions are the following:
    • If your Olympus digital voice recorder comes with DSS Player V6, you simply install "DSS Player for Mac (OS X) V6 Update to V6.0.4" using the instructions in the Read Me file.
    • If your Olympus digital voice recored comes with DSS Player versiion 1.xx, you first install the "DSS Player for Mac (OS X) Upgrade from version 1.xx to V6" using the instructions in the Read Me file, then install "DSS Player for Mac (OS X) V6 Update to V6.0.4," again following the instructions in its Read Me file.
    StuffIt Expander is required to unpack these downloads. Tiger, unlike prior versions of Mac OS X, does not include Stuffit Expander: see "Mac OS X 10.4: Where is StuffIt Expander?" If you don't have StuffIt Expander, a free download of such for Mac OS X 10.4 can be found here.4. Since your Mac Mini is PPC, your only real option for running Windows is Virtual PC. There are some other, open-source projects for getting Windows to run under Mac OS X, but Virtual PC is probably the "gold standard" in that arena.
    If your 20-inch iMac is Intel-based, in lieu of Boot Camp you could also try Parallels Desktop for Mac. This leverages the virtualization technology of the Intel chips, permitting you to run Mac OS X and Windows simultaneously.
    Good luck!

  • Olympus VN 2100 digital voice recorder and mac

    Is there any way to get the voice recordings I have on my Olympus (VN 2100pc) digital voice recorder into my mac? I understand this recorder is not mac compatible but I have so many recordings that are important on this recorder before I realized it wasn't mac compatible. Any program that will allow me to convert files into mac, on my iBook?
    Thank you.
    Jeff

    It is my understanding that the VN 2100PC has a USB port & cable. The VN 2100 does not; Olympus uses 'pc' to distinguish the two.
    VN 2100pc: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpgsection/cpg_supportfaqs.asp?id=1270
    VN 2100: http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpgsection/cpg_supportfaqs.asp?id=1269
    Is your question how to convert the files from CELP, ADPCM (WAVE) to a quicktime format after you plug the recorder into your computer and copy the files?
    Or are you having trouble connecting your recorder to your computer?
    It has been my experience that, once connected, a USB profile should show up in Finder and, after a bit of digging, you should be able to find your recordings and copy them.
    Please let me know the status; if Olympus 'PC' recorders are not compatible with OS X, it would be good to know (I'm looking at digital recorder presently).

  • Olympus Digital Voice Recorder VN-3100PC

    I have this Digital Voice Recorder and it states from the direct company "Windows XP/2000" for the compatible systems. Then I found a reseller website that states "Mac compatible". I was wondering if anyone has a Digital Voice Recorder made for Windows but were able to get it working for Mac OS X on their Mac Book Pro? (Or any Mac)

    Is not compatible with Mac.

  • Rca digital voice recorder VR5220

    Please help with getting macbook pro Mac OS 10.4.11 to recognize the rca digital voice recorder VR5220. I understand that the recording has to be in HQ for the .wav file to be read by quicktime, but I am having trouble even getting the computer to recognize the device in order to proceed. Thanks for your help.

    According to the manual (download link) OSX is not supported.

  • Mac compatible Digital voice recorder

    I'm looking to buy a Mac compatible Digital voice recorder for interviews (I'm a journalist). Needs are one that is easy and basic, where I don't need to download any software if possible. I'm going to be doing lengthy interviews and need something that can stand up to travel & length of time (about 2-3 hrs per interview). Thanks for an input. Apple store couldn't help.... thanks!

    For a high quality portable audio recorder, I've been very happy with the Olympus LS-10, but it is more expensive that the ordinary voice recorder, on the order of $250USD. If you want quality, this has it. I am disappointed at the sound quality of the voice recorders I have tried. It's stereo, about the size of a pack of cigarettes (if anybody remembers that). The built-in microphones are not perfect for music (reduced bass and boosted highs), but are excellent for voice. The device records about 10 hours continuously on 2 AA batteries. It has tiny speakers and earphone jack, and an iPod-easy menu system. It requires no software to transfer files. You connect the USB cable to the Mac, and the recorder shows up on the desktop for you to move whatever files you wish. You can record in WAV, MP3 or WMA formats at several bit depths and sample rates to balance quality with file size.
    There are many competing products (Sony, Tascam, Marantz, others) that have some similar characteristics, but I have no experience with them - except some Zoom products I tried were poor.
