Transferring the files takes about 1 ½ seconds. Deleting them is the same story. It helps if you have a team who work together to do this, and the computer person from our school was very helpful, as well. But it is certainly no where NEAR the headache we had with cassettes!

We have become recording technicians and if you only have a limited number of MP players and exams in different classes within days of each other, this becomes a logistical nightmare. You have to erase the files of one exam from the MP player and download the files from the next exam onto it. And then there is the problem of the pupil who didn't sit for the exam when it was scheduled and has to take the exam a few days later. In the meantime you have already erased the file from the MP player and used it for someone else. You have to go back to the computer on which you recorded the file and re-download it.? ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
