Timed recording has been in the request queue for more than a year. It is hardly fair to consider it "option clutter" now. ...

I record 12 - 16 hours from a radio, and I would prefer dealing with 12 one hour files than one humongous 12 hour file. Also, if something goes wrong in the ninth hour, at least I have 8 good files. If I could say "record 12 1 hour files and then stop" I would be a happy man. > > But I do like to be able to start up a dubbing session and leave > it to stop on its own, without chewing up the entire hard disk > and creating a massive file to have to deal with later. > > Ah...

But one person's essentials are another's clutter, I suppose. I wouldn't mind if there were some options that were settable only in the config file, but this one probably should be in a menu. > > David H.
