Hi Vicki,
Yes my bad. I checked and date modified and date created are (or should be)
both retained when you do the initial copy. If you use Command-I (or File >
Get Info ) you can see both the date created and date modified. You can also
change the folder view to display "date created" by going to View > View
Options and check the box next to Date Created. This will give you an
additional column with the date created. Be aware this is set on a folder by
folder basis, rather than being universal setting.

No, it's an Olympus thing.

"The LS10 does have a clock built in, and when you transfer WAV files to your
Mac or PC, the 'Date Modified' field in the Finder or Windows Explorer shows
the time and date of recording, but the files are basic rather than Broadcast
WAVs, and don't appear to contain timestamp information or other metadata. I
was slightly surprised by this, although it's unlikely to present a big problem
for most music applications."
I'd have to investigate but you could probably use an Automator script to copy
the modified date to the creation date.
cheers
