The big difference with the wma files recorded on the device according to
the manual is that you can at least set an index, actually up to 16 of them,
and the DS50 will remember them, even if you move to other folders. You
could come back to the file and easily skip to any of the index marks. This
is not possible with files not recorded on the device. You can set index
marks, but they are not remembered when you switch to a different file or
folder.
Not sure if this holds true with WMA with DRM, but I imagine it will not
remember the index marks either.

Well, I just tried a little experiment, and not only do you not keep your
place in a WMA DRM file; you don't keep your place even in a WMA recorded on
the DS-50. I recorded a concert yesterday with my DS-50 and so I tried
skiping a ways into the file and then changed folders and played a couple of
other files in other folders and when I came back to the concert I was back
to the beginning of the file. So, the only good thing is that you can
adjust the skip forward and backward so that you can find where you left
off, and it is quicker than rewinding a tape, but still a bit tedious.

: It would be wonderful if they actually came out with a firmware update
that

: Netlibrary. I mean truly keep our place like it currently does in an

: Hi Lana,
:
: I've used Overdrive on the DS30. It works great. I used the most recent
: version of the Overdrive Media Console, plugged in the recorder, and told
: the PC to transfer the book to the Olympus, and it did. I can't imagine
: what the vendor you spoke with was referring to. You might want to ask
the
: vendor to clarify.

: Cheers,
