Hi Jim, Yes, you can simply copy or move the files from your Book Port to your computer and the files are Wav files. Someone has suggested that the Book Port wouldn't be great to record a meeting, but you can always try it out. I noticed that once I copied the wav files onto my system, they sounded a bit better--perhaps due to my sound card? Hmmm.

Is the BP good for recording meetings? If you have a big card like 1 GB or 2 GB how long can you record using the BP? I'm assuming you can download audio recorded files from the BP to your computer? What format is the recorded audio file for the BP? mp3? Why wouldn't you just use a BP for recording a meeting or lecture instead of an other recorder?

Mine produces compressed .wav files. I would use goldwaves batch converter to convert to mp3 however this means the files get encoded yet again which retuces quality.
