4.4.6 THE DIGITAL AUDIO PLAYER
4.4.6.1 INTRODUCTION
The Digital Audio Player enables you to play, record, and compress sound
as .WAV files. In addition, you can play .AUD files. The .WAV files use
PCM, which is the Windows ? audio file format. The .AUD format uses
ESPCM? compression to produce an audio file. Files are written directly
to your hard disk as you record, enabling you to record very large files.
Your only limitation is the amount of free space on your hard disk. The
voice activation feature is useful for recording any kind of intermittent
audio. The Digital Audio Player provides a choice of linear PCM (8 or 16
bit) recording. Note that you have additional options using the Audio
Recorder, which is invoked by the Edit button.
4.4.6.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
