Playing back recordings

After making a voice recording I spent some time cursing (not recorded) before working out that you play back recordings from within Recording mode, not Music mode - the manual is a bit misleading/confusing where it says on p.17: "Play back the recorded files: The operation procedure is the same as music playback (Ref. P. 11-12)". If you look for your recorded file in Music mode you won't find it.

Enter Recording mode by pressing M, press fast forward >> through the modes to Recording mode (it's after Music mode), press M again. You will now be in Recording mode and the top of the screen will show which file is selected and the total number of files e.g. 001/004 (you are looking at file 1 of 4 recorded files)(there will be no recorded files until you record one). Here you can use >> to move through the files then press the Play button to play a file.

To record a file, enter Recording mode as above (M / >> / Recording / M) and then press the Red record button - recording has started (you should see the timer start). Press the red button again to finish. Now don't go back to Music mode to play your file but use the >> button within Recording mode (when you're not recording) and you should see that the total number of files has gone up by one (e.g. 005/005 instead of 004/004). You can then move through the files using >> and press play.

Podcast files are found in Music mode - I downloaded one which is listed with the other MP3 files in music mode where you can select it and press Play.
