I have used this for recording talks, & I have been pleased with it. However, on my phone I can see all my recordings, all .wav files, with names starting with the date & time, easy to find, and I can rename them if I choose to. But when I try to read them on my computer, (with USB cable from computer to phone) the ones I recorded yesterday are not there (in Windows Explorer). The older ones are all there. However, I made 3 recordings yesterday. They are shown on the display on the android phone (sony mini xperia), and I can play them on the phone, but I cannot see them on the computer. I am sure I haven't changed the settings for where the files are saved (actually I'm not sure if it's possible to do that). I've done searches but nothing is showing. Could they somehow be hidden? Apparently I can send them (in the tape-a-talk menu) via bluetooth or email, but it's odd that I can't see yesterday's files in Windows Explorer, whereas the older ones are all showing & will play directly on the computer (e.g. in VLC player). Any comments appreciated.
