Sony voice recorder

I have a Sony digital voice recorder that records in .dvf format. The download software is for PC. I have moved to Mac and no longer have my pc and cann't download the recordings from the device to my mac. Is there any way of downloading them so they play on my mac?

I need to know about this, too. I am getting desperate since there's a file I HAVE to access and I need to download a specific program (windows based) to do the conversion, and I can't!

I need a digital voice recorder best suited for recording my voice for chorus and quartet rehearsals

I'm looking for a small digital Sony voice recorder best suited for recording singing for chorus and quartet rehearsals. I received model ICD-AX412 but don't think that's the right one for this. I found a couple other models PCMD50 and PCMM10 online but want to know what to get!

Hello Carol,
Welcome to Sony Community.
When recording a chorus place the IC recorder on a table approximately 2 to 3 meters (80 to 120 in.) from the performer(s).
Set up the IC recorder with the display window facing up, and with the built-in microphones pointing towards the sound source.
Refer to page # 34 of the Manual (ICD-AX412) about placing the IC Recorder for recording chorus.
Also, select the Recording scene as “Lecture” for recording a chorus lesson.
You can refer to page # 32 and 33 of the Manual to select the recording scene.

Sony IC Recorder ICD-U60 won't connect

I just bought a Sony Voice Recorder (ICD-U60) and it was a surprise for me that is incompatible with my iMac. It comes with an installation disk for Windows but the Recorder has a built in USB.
Does anyone knows what are my options?

Here's what I did. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but works fine. I have Windows XP running in a partition with Bootcamp on my Mac. I seldom use it, but it does open and run fine. I record voice notes on my Sony IC recorder, and boot the computer in Windows. I downloaded a free shareware program for Windows called Switchsetup.exe. It converts just about any file format into any file format, so can convert the voice recorder file format into an MP3 or WAV or whatever you want. You just drag and drop the file into a window. I converted my voice notes to MP3, and it automatically puts them into the My Music folder on the Windows side, which I never use for anything else. Then I switched back over to Mac OS, where I can see the My Music folder in the Windows partition. I created a Mac OS alias of that folder, and drag it onto my Mac desktop. That way, I can easily access all the converted voice notes while using Mac OSX, once they have been converted in a batch process on the Windows side.
Once set up, this works pretty easily. If I have a bunch of new notes on the IC recorder, I run Windows, convert the files, then go back to Mac OS. When I click on the My Music alias, I get access to MP3's of my voice recordings. Click on them and they get pulled into iTunes where I have a "playlist" labeled My Voice Notes. Once there, it's easy to listen to them or do other things, include editing them in other software if I want, etc.
We really do need a voice recorder add-on for iPods and iPhones.

Sony MP3 Voice Recorder

I bought a Sony MP3 Recorder about a week before buying the MacBook as I was attending a seminar and wanted to not be too distracted by note taking. I have since discovered that I can't download the voice cuts to the MacBook to edit. I also note that Sony doesn't support Mac OSx. Does anyone know if there is some software/freeware/shareware that allows me to connect the Reorder to the USB port and view the cuts for transfer into iTunes or Garage Band for editing?
Cheers

I don't know if this will work with your Sony.
It's made for Creative products,but works with others also.Give it a try.
Worst case,it won't work and you can just uninstall the software.

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 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)

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.

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:

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
Ryan

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.

Voice recorder

Hi I hope someone can help me, I'm looking to purchase a voice recorder that is compatible with a mac. Does anyone know of a good voice recorder that's not difficult to work with and doesn't cost me an arm and leg. I want to purchase it for school and lectures and still be able to use it with my bose head set as well. I've looked into olympus 802, would that work with any Mac produce? Thank you to anyone who can help me in advance it will be much appreciated.

have several such voice recorders, the best for the money is the H2N ZOOM recorder
next would be the Sony line.
all connect via USB and work with any Mac.

IPod Touch - voice recorder ...?

I've been hearing a bit of buzz around the hacker(s) who built an external device that plugs into the iPod Touch and records sound.
The reason I came across this info, is because I'm looking to purchase a digital voice recorder as a christmas gift for my boyfriend (who owns already owns a Touch). He once had a 3rd-party device that attached to his older iPod, that allowed him to record. With all this hacking going on, does anyone know if apple or other companies are already in the works of developing such a product? In this case, my idea for purchasing a (sony/ olympus...) voice recorder is not so exciting. I'm sure he rather have the extra piece to stick into his iPod Touch, rather than carrying around a clunk of gadgets. Anyone know of such plans? Is this a few years away? or coming up sooner than I imagine?
Thanks for your thoughts!

thanks VIP- but I don't think I'll be buying parts for marion to build for me. Even if it means spending a lot more on a brand, I just feel more comfortable purchasing the actual released product.
Or, since so many people are writing up on eok & marion, maybe I'll keep watching over the next week or two to see if people have been using it.
Is this device risky? Is there a chance of it screwing up the iPod?

Nomad Jukebox 3 voice record

Hi, I've been trying to get useful voice recording with my N. Jukebox 3. I'd like to have good recordings of my singing lessons. Using a good Sony mike I still get barely audible (on max volume) scratchy recordings. The range seems good but not enough volume and clarity to be useful. What is anyone else's experience? If not this unit is there an MP3 player with great recording performance? Thanks for any response, Robert

If you can find a used minidisk unit off eBay or similar for cheap, the preamp in those units can make for an excellent small, battery powered preamp for the JB3 line input.

Mac compatible - Digital Voice Recorder Advice

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for advice on a good, mid-range, but professional voice recorder to buy. I have a canon 5D2 and would like to use something like the H4n to record the audio and edit it in post.
Does anyone on this forum have a tip on what to get?
Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Tupy.

There's many portable recorders on the market now but I've yet to find something better than Sony's products if you're looking for quality.
Check out either the PCM-D50 or the PCM-D10:

Zoom are interesting but the build quality is always on the cheap side.

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.
