Sharon, PCM will result in the creation of '.WAV' files whereas the MP3 option will give you MP3 files as your audio files. DAISY recordings are able to work with either of these formats. The main difference is quality of the audio and the amount of disc storage - higher quality uses more disc space. With either the WAV files or the MP3 files, you can lift the files out of the DAISY recording to use/edit on any other standard audio editing software. Hope this helps.

What is the difference between mp3 and daisy? I thought the ptr1 recorded in both. I'm a bit confused between the two.

Hey Sharon: Put the "noise" level to low. I contend that the actual MP3 recordings are really Windows files which is to say, that, your player will need to be capable of playing Windows files as well as MP3. Also, put your recording setting to "custom". Turn your incrament setting to "off" or "none. When you stop recording, it will leave a track mark. If that one is set to anything else, it will automatically put a section in almost any time there is a "pause". They did a few rather strange things with the PTR1 units. I use one myself. Get regular CDR for MP# recording. You can't do MP3 recording on a "music" CD. Some kind of "copyright" garbage. Hoe these things will help. If, at some point, you might want to actually talk, contact me.
