Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent device and software
Posted 15 years ago.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Quality device, excellent software (running on MacBook Pro 10.6.2) Two quirks: 1. as mentioned above, you can not add on to or insert in an existing file. 2. it does NOT charge automatically while plugged into the USB port. While it only requires the press of a button or two to go into charge mode, if you are not aware of this you will be surprised (as I was) when the battery is dead.
