The recording time is only limited by the size of the hard disk/removable storage in your system. The software employs a caseette deck user interface. There are four audio quality (compression) levels, ranging from a near audio-CD quality (very good) to something that sounds like a RealAudio file optimized for a 14.4 modem transmission (very bad). At all four levels, the recording is compressed on the fly (in real time) and can be played back immediately. As far as networking is concerned, I tested recording my voice directly to an AppleShare file server in a 10BaseT switched ethernet network and experienced no problems, not even at the high quality/high data rate setting. I have not had a chance yet to do the network test with several simultaneous recordings to the file server. The software lists for $39.95 but for a time it was available for free at Iomega's web. You filled out some sort of customer profile form first (the catch) and then were taken to the free download page. I do not know if this "promo" is still available.
