If importing audio files into Personal Companion or AudioWav Player from a digital recorder (or any other device) that is identified as a removable drive when connected to the computer, you should ensure that the drive letter assigned to the device by Windows is always the same. One way to ensure that the drive letter remains the same each time the device is connected to the computer is to do the following:

 

  1. Connect the device to the computer.
  2. Run Administrative Tools->Computer Management
  3. Choose Disk Management from the selection tree
  4. Right click on the appropriate volume and choose “Change Drive Letter and Paths…”
  5. Assign a new drive letter, perhaps O: for an Olympus recorder and P: for a Philips recorder.
Now, each time the device is connected to the computer it will be recognized and assigned the drive letter you selected. Use this drive letter when specifying the Auto Import folder in AudioWav Player or the Source-Removable in Personal Companion (e.g. “P:”).
