Sound recorder I want to do an interview, how long can I record for please?

Did any of the files ever playback with sound? You can record sounds, but that doesn't mean the recorder is picking them up. A bad connection, level control setting could be wrong.
Try to do another short recording. If you are using a microphone pull the jack out during recording and put it back in again. Then listen to the recording. If there is sound when the microphone is in and it goes when it is out, then there is a possibility that somehow you recorded the other stuff with no connection and that's why there is no sound. If there is no sound on the new recording at all, then you might have a faulty playback amplifier inside the device.

Since the unit is a mono recorder, the problem is caused by the telephone record adapter you are using.

Use an Olympus TP7 plug it into the mic jack and you should be good

Skype and gotomeeting are the best I use them for podcasting all the time. Skype works good too those other dont work as good. So my advice would be skype

While recording,press the disp/menu button until the bar graph appears

Software available here:

Use BitTorrent to download.

The folder lock can oly be solved by chosing the option "format" in the sub-menu. But please copy the *.dss - files still resting at your card at your harddisk first.
When the recorder finishes the format procedure, all folders will be unlocked again.

The "Read-Only-Failure" will occur again at recorders with differend user profiles, when you put the switched-off recorder into the docking station first and switch the power button to "on". So avoid this constellation!

I had the same problem but have found the downloadable instructions. Here is the link:
