This software package installed nicely, however I had to change the printer port settings in my BIOS from bidirectional to ECP before the software would communicate with the unit. Even then it was a bit tricky figuring out how to put songs on, for the program would keep telling me the unit was not connected. The Cabo software is compatible with Windows 9x. After installing Windows2000, the CaboDesk setup would not run, dumping out as an invalid operating system. The unit also has a talk mode so you may record notes for a later time, however I never really got that working and havent played with it much.
Battery life sucks, period.
The unit takes two AAA batteries yet does not have an external power option. I don't know if BestData has revised this player, lets hope so, but if not, this player is not really that good, and I haven't and won't recommend it to friends. Corp. All Rights Reserved.
