Planning on getting a digital voice recorder to make notes etc while on the move. I'd like to pull the files (I expect MP3) in to my PB is there an app that could handle this easily and cleanly?

Jb -- which voice recorder are you considering?

Quick break down: As of October 1, 2006
Sony Digital Voice Recorders are not Mac Compatible
Philips Digital Voice Recorders are not Mac Compatible
Olympus offers a few options for Mac users (this line should expand in 2007)
1. Olympus DM-10
2. Olympus DM-20
3. Olympus DS-20
4. Olympus DS-2200
5. Olympus DS-2300
6. Olympus DS-3300
7. Olympus DS-4000

Olympus uses DSS file format for SP & LP and WMA for HQ & STHQ recordings. The DSS Player software packaged with the recorders above is Mac compatible. The software primary function is to download store and playback your audio files. There is a tech note for the Intel Macs Olympus DSS Player for MAC - Recorders.com Community Forum we are hoping for a patch soon.

The DS-2300, DS-3300, and DS-4000 are primarily designed for dictation purposes. The DM-10, DM-20, DS-2200 are great for lecturers, interviews, and/or conference recording. Also we just recently started testing the Edirol R09 which just so happens to record in MP3 and WAV, might be worth looking at well.
