We plan to use new digital voice recorders. Products are available from Olympus, Sony, and others. All of these digital voice recorders offer file-based audio storage. We would like to take advantage of this feature and move the files to our computers. It is not clear whether there is a difference in the product features described as "USB connection" and "USB direct connection." Is this difference in USB connectivity a concern for file transfer to CentOS computers? Thanks in advance for any information.
I have a USB digital audio recorder (hi-fi stereo, not 'voice'), it records on a 32GB SD card. I import the audio by plugging the SD card into a SD reader on my PC and copying the files directly off it.
that said, afaik, "USB connection" and "USB Direct Connection" is purely a matter of marketing semantics. hopefully, these voice recorders present a 'storage device' interface to the host, so it can just mount them like any other file system, and copy files. if they present a custom device interface which requires a device specific driver, odds are pretty good that driver only exists for Windows and maybe Mac OSX.
