SOLVED: Can't save voice recordings

(1/4) > >>

I must be missing something ... I can't get my e200 to save a voice recording. I've read the instructions three times, and all it says is hit the power button to stop recording. When I do that, the recording isn't saved. There's nothing in the instructions that how to save the file. I've set up the recording directory through the context menu, but no voice recordings go there. I'm stumped. Please help. I love the idea of having an mp3 voice recorder built in.

I posted this in the General forum, but see there's a Recording forum, plus I have more info to add.
When attempting a voice recording, I can't seem to save it anywhere. I'm assuming saving is automatic, as the instructions show no way to save the files, but when I view the folder that I designated through the context menu as the recording folder, no files are there. What am I doing wrong?

The other weird thing is, when I go do designate the save recordings folder, I'm unable to do so on my Micro SD card. The option is not available for the card, but I've read on this forum others who tout that as a big advantage for using Rockbox -- the ability to record onto the external card. Please help.

By the way, I'm using the first e260 v1.

Thanks.
Mark

What steps are you taking to record?  What do you do once you get to the While Recording Screen?

First off, I was finally able to designate my Micro SD card as the directory for voice recordings.
The step I take to record are, from the main menu, select Recording. This brings up the level meter window with volume and gain settings.
Getting it to start recording is kind of hit-and-miss. I hit the play button, and sometimes nothing happens, sometimes it starts recording. I hit it twice in a row, and sometimes it will start recording, sometimes not. Sometimes I just have to keep hitting it until it starts.
Once I'm recording, I can hit the play button again to pause, then hit it again to resume recording.
Once I'm done recording, I don't know what to do to save it. I've tried hitting every button and nothing seems to do the trick. I've tried hitting the power button, but that resets the recording window to start a new file. Same for the menu button. Right and left buttons seem to have no effect.

AlexP:
Have you checked the manual to see what each button does whilst in the recording screen?
