I always used a Sony IC recorder with foot pedal for transcription work.
Hit the foot pedal and the cassette tape automatically looped the past 8 seconds.
(Newer models did 16 seconds).
I found that looping function essential.
Is there even a remote chance that this could be built in to the software?
I'm using OS X, and another program is looking like a better candidate for my transcription needs.
