Adjusting memory
If your device runs out of memory while recording, you’ll hear several
beeps and see an out-of-memory message on your screen. You can adjust
the allocation of memory on your device by tapping Start

System, then the Memory tab. If you run out of memory frequently, you
might consider buying a CompactFlash storage card for your device.
NOTE
: Voice Recorder uses approximately 8 Kb per second for recording
using the default PCM format. For example, a 10-second note uses
approximately 80Kb.
Choosing a recording format
Voice Recorder uses a format called PCM to ensure the best sound
quality. You can also use the alternative Mobile Voice codec, which
makes recordings 25 times smaller than the original size. This enables you
to store more recordings, although the sound quality is less than optimal.
For the best sound quality, use the default PCM format. These files are
larger than those stored in Mobile Voice format. To switch formats, tap
Tools then Recording Format.
Organizing recordings
Your recordings are saved automatically and given the default names
Recording1, Recording2, etc. These recordings are listed in the Voice
Recorder window. To quickly rename a recording, tap it to select it, tap it
again, then enter the new name.
You can organize your recordings by renaming and placing them in
folders. For example, you can create a folder called My Novel and place
all relevant recordings in that folder.
