Man, I *really* wish we had the compressed speech on the Bookport.
This would sure make listening to the lectures I record on my
RCA recorder a
whole lot better.
My RCA digital recorder creates an MP3 file which is very handy
to download
and transfer to the Bookport.
For that matter, I sure wish we could get a digital recorder to
replace the
APH tape job with the speech compression features.
Cy, the Ancient Okie...
