Re: Memory allocation 101


Good suggestoin, thanks. I'll look into that :-)

Uhhh.. pardon my ignorance, but how do you "soft reset"
these things, I see no obvoius menu selection (like the Start/
Restart in Windows). The unit does have an on/off button
at the top, is this the soft reset you are referring to?

Thanks

but to your original question.. Yes you should be able to recorder
your
voice notes to the SD card rather than internal memory. If you have
set
this option, but it is still not working, try a soft reset and see if
that
helps. you may also want to look at some of the other recording
programs
that will record in other formats besides WAV (like mp3) you'll be
able to
record for much longer amounts of time, and use far less storage
space.
