How do you edit a recording on an Olympus DS-30 dictatation machine. All I want to do is record over what I have dictated but the machine just creates a new file everytime I press the record button again. I JUST want it to continue with the existing file. Can anyone help?

Yes, you can, but only with Olympus DS-2400, DS-3400 & DS-5000

The dictation device port where the cable inputs into the machine is not working. There is no way to fix this problem with spending some money. When this happens, you need to find a compaticord at RadioShack and download directly into the computer with a recording software to record the voice files. Or you can purchase a new dictation device. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately with this device the VN-2100PC it is not possible to rewind and overwrite any dictations that were done. Each time the record button is pressed and then the stop button is pressed it will create a new file. They may want to look for a DS-2300 or a DS-2400 recorder as these devices have the ability to rewind and allow you to dictate over previously recorded information in the same file. There is a button on these devices called "New" that allows you to stay within the same file until you press New to start the next audio file.

on your computer, you will need some sort of media recovery software. also go to options under the tools menu and uncheck delete after transfer to turn off deletion. this is usually best since you can delete the files through the recorder by the erase button

You can rewind and playback only. You can only record by creating a new file.

you can not do this with the Olympus ws-100, you need a dictation machine that has the editing function which allows you to easily insert, overwrite, partially erase files and continue on the same file, most of the digital dictation units have NEW FILE BUTTON , you will stay recording on the same file till you press new.
Look at Olympus DS-2300. Olympus DS-33300 or ds-4000.
