Looking for a digital voice/music recorder and software compatible with Mac (Like the Olympus digital voice recorders that are compatible with Windows media player) to record, upload, edit and copy lectures to CD's. Any leads, tips are welcome.

If you have an iMac or MacBook, just launch quicktime and make a new audio recording. Talk until you're done and, well, you're done! Copy to CD? You mean audio CD or MP3/AAC CD? iTunes will do either.

Thanks. However, we start with a lecture at a remote location. Presently we record with an Olympus digital voice recorder (small, hand-held). From there we upload the recording to the Digital Wave software provided by Olympus with the purchase of the recorder. This wave file is then converted/upgraded for copying to audio CD. And then we edit the lecture recording prior to copying it. All this is now done with Windows XP on a PC. What we want to do instead is to accomplish these same tasks using the Mac Mini rather than the PC. So far we have not found for the Mac (1) a small recorder (2) compatible software for creating an audio file (3) editing software which would work on the Mac.

Olympus' web site states that some of its digital voice recorders are Mac-compatible, while others are not. I take it the model you have is not? What is its model number? In what format is the audio file recorded? How does the recorder connect to a computer? (USB?)
