Date: Mon, 21 Jun 2004 13:47:24 -0500 As a check, after you press the "play/pause" button while in the recording screen, the square symbol in the middle of the top row of the LCD will turn into a circle (i.e. from "stop" to "record"). Also, the file size counter will start to tick upwards (if you have split time = off) and the recording time counter will start to tick upwards. I always check these things before I assume that the Archos is recording anything. > > game, and a concert in the last week.

If you set the directory setting to "/recordings" then they will appear there, your current setting is "current directory" which means they get placed where ever you are when you enter the recording screen.
