i had written a small perl script that reads the date/time information
from files saved by the windows software
(works with my Olympus VN-120PC)

----- cut -------
use File::Format::RIFF;

foreach my $file (@ARGV)
{
    open( IN, $file ) or die "Could not open file: $!";
    my $riff1  = File::Format::RIFF->read( \*IN );
    close( IN );

    foreach $i (@{$riff1->{'data'}})
    {
        if($i->{'id'} eq 'cd  ')
        {
            my @x = unpack("C*",$i->{'data'});
            printf("$file\t%04d/%02d/%02d-%02d:%02d:%02d\n",
                ($x[0]+2000),$x[1],$x[2],$x[3],$x[4],$x[5]);
        }
    }
}
----- cut -------

now i'm using odvr (http://code.google.com/p/odvr/) on Linux

(reminds me that i have to update
