What are Index Marks and Temp Marks?
Index Marks are digital tags that can be inserted while recording or during playback.
They are used to skip forward or backward in recordings to pre-selected points. Up to 16
Index Marks can be added to a single file.
Index Marks cannot be placed in files created on machines other than Olympus digital
voice recorders. This means that they cannot be placed in podcasts. Instead, Temp
Marks can be placed in podcasts to temporarily remember desired locations. Up to 16
Temp Marks can be added to a single file.
Both Index Marks and Temp Marks are inserted using the [
SCENE] (INDEX) button on
the recorder. Index Marks and Temp Marks cannot be added to files in the Audible folder.
What is the purpose of the Audible folder?
The Audible folder (a subfolder of the Music folder) is present to receive and play audio
content purchased from the Audible.com ® Web site ( http://www.audible.com/ ).
Audible.com is a source for audio books and audio newspaper and magazine articles.
Audible also has Web sites for the United Kingdom, France and Germany for content in
other languages.
Audible files are not managed by the Olympus Sonority software. When users purchase
a subscription to Audible.com, they receive Audible Manager software. The DM-420 is
listed in the
Mobile Device listing in Audible Manager. Audible Manager is used to
download audio content from the Audible.com Web site and transfer files to the
recorder’s
Audible folder.
When the Audible folder is selected on the recorder, the recorder automatically
switches to the Audible mode. The Audible mode is able to play the downloaded Audible
files in any of the three formats used by Audible. When a content file is transferred to
the recorder, a
.pos file is created to record the playback position of a file. This allows
the recording to take up where it had left off during a prior listening session.
