Working with Sound You Have Recorded


There are a number of things you can do with sounds you have recorded. These include the following:
  • You can play sounds you have recorded by highlighting the sound you want to hear on the Voice Memos screen and pressing the Play button. You’ll see the Now Playing screen, and the sound will play.
  • You can delete sounds you have recorded by highlighting the sound you want to delete and pressing the Select button. You’ll see a screen with Play and Delete options. Select Delete and then select Delete Memo on the resulting screen. The sound you recorded will be deleted.
  • The next time you connect your iPod to your computer, the sounds you recorded will be uploaded into your iTunes Library. To find them, search for the dates on which you recorded the sounds, and the sounds you recorded on those dates will be shown in the Content pane. After a recorded sound is in your Library, you can work with it just like the songs in that Library. For example, you can play the sounds, add them to playlists, put them on CD, and so on.
  • You can also access the recording files you made directly by connecting the iPod to a computer and opening it as a hard drive from the desktop. Then open the Recordings folder, and you will see one WAV file for each recording stored on the iPod. You can play these WAV files or import them into an audio application for editing or other purposes.
