Sort of replying to my own message, but thought some would like to see the info for this device which is at: http://www.bridgedigital.net/default.asp At Last, a Genuine Replacement for the Analogue Cassette! Bridge Digital is proud to introduce its easy-to-use, affordable and environmentally friendly digital recording and duplication system. If your organisation is a Talking Newspaper, Audio Book club or similar, then Newsbridge? is for you! * Make high quality digital recordings from any computer * No knowledge of digital recording required! * Record from your home or office * For your service users, playing a recording is easier than using a cassette recorder * Use existing volunteers for duplicating, packing and sending * A reusable system that's environmentally friendly * Half the cost of other digital recording systems How does it work? 1. Use our Newsbridge? software on virtually any computer to make your digital recordings. It couldn't be easier, just use the controls on-screen as you would on a cassette recorder. If you make a mistake just stop, rewind a little, then record again! Easy-to-use Newsbridge digital recording software 2. Duplicate the digital recordings onto 20 thumbdrives at a time, by pressing a single button in Newsbridge?. Alternatively, if making a recording at home, just copy to a single thumb drive, then send it back to the office for them to edit and duplicate. Duplicate thumbdrives with Newsbridge 3. Send the thumbdrives to your service users - they just plug their thumbdrive in to the Newsbridge loud speaker, and start listening! Send thumbdrives to your service users 4. Thumbdrives are returned to be used http://www.bridgedigital.net/default.asp Comment: Looks as if the software is very mouse driven, but of course I've not seen this in action, so don't know.
