I did.  They haven't seen it either.  Guess I'm just out of luck.

I really never had a need to turn live recordings into MP3's or wav files.   I just listened to the lectures in the format they were recorded in on the Victor.  Unfortunately, my Victor has come up missing.  I seem to have left it in class, and no one has seen it.  I have a Book Sense that does everything does, but I still miss Victor.

To me thos eparticular enhancements are what appeal to me.  If the software isn't locking up on the Victor or something like that, it would be worth the 449 to me.

The only thing appealing is the enhanced Audible listening, but since I'm not subscribed to Audible, this seems like a weak reason to put down fifty dollars.  Clearly Humanware is attempting to make money on features it could have easily made a part of one of their software updates.  I might be persuaded if they upgraded their TTS options.
