Olympus DDS Player - Loves to Type


Posted: Oct 15, 2009

Does anyone have experience using this player?  I am wanting to use a foot pedal but the foot switch option is grayed out.  Any help would be much appreciated.

It's been a while since I have had to use that, but if I remember correctly, you must use the Olympus foot pedal and nothing else is compatible. If you have the files downloaded though there are some programs that will conver the dss format to wav (or others) that you can then play the file in ES or another player that is more compatible. I believe that ES also will play dss files if you have the extension checked. Don't know if that helps or not, hope so, Olympus products make everything difficult for sure. :)

I've been using it. It only wants its own footpedal though, yes. - joan

I got it because an account switched to DS2 and at the time, that's all I could find to play DS2 format. There's a little converter to change to DSS or wav files.
