DSS Player Pro software provides direct recording to your PC, automatic retrieval of typed documents, automatic distribution of recordings via email, and much more. Mac® OS X 10.6 ('Snow Leopard').Requires DSS Player for Macintosh 7.0.1 or later.Requires DSS Player for Macintosh 7.2.2.
1. With the particular digital voice recorder you have, I suspect you are going to be out of luck. Olympus offers DSS Player for Mac OS X for their higher-end units, i.e. their DS-series digital voice recorders.
2. I presume you've tried connecting the VN-960PC to your Mac via USB cable and found that its built-in storage does not mount on the desktop. True?
3. I suspect DSS Player is not going to work with your VN-960PC, but if you hada DS-series recorder, here's how I'd advise you, based on having previously researched this question for a person with a DS-series player:
The short answer is that if you install the DSS Player application that comes with their digital voice recorders, and then install the 'DSS Player for Mac (OS X) V6 Update to V6.0.4' — which can be found using their Support - Downloads Web page — then the DSS Player software will work with Tiger.4. Since your Mac Mini is PPC, your only real option for running Windows is Virtual PC. There are some other, open-source projects for getting Windows to run under Mac OS X, but Virtual PC is probably the 'gold standard' in that arena.
They are planning to update their Web site to reflect this as well as provide a FAQ. The basic instructions are the following:
• If your Olympus digital voice recorder comes with DSS Player V6, you simply install 'DSS Player for Mac (OS X) V6 Update to V6.0.4' using the instructions in the Read Me file.
• If your Olympus digital voice recored comes with DSS Player versiion 1.xx, you first install the 'DSS Player for Mac (OS X) Upgrade from version 1.xx to V6' using the instructions in the Read Me file, then install 'DSS Player for Mac (OS X) V6 Update to V6.0.4,' again following the instructions in its Read Me file.
StuffIt Expander is required to unpack these downloads. Tiger, unlike prior versions of Mac OS X, does not include Stuffit Expander: see 'Mac OS X 10.4: Where is StuffIt Expander?' If you don't have StuffIt Expander, a free download of such for Mac OS X 10.4 can be found here.
If your 20-inch iMac is Intel-based, in lieu of Boot Camp you could also try Parallels Desktop for Mac. This leverages the virtualization technology of the Intel chips, permitting you to run Mac OS X and Windows simultaneously.
Good luck!
