Voice Recordings and iTunes 7.5

Thank you to everyone who wrote me to give the heads up about the possible 1.1.2 support for iPhone voice notes. New strings inside the iTunes release suggest that voice note support may soon arrive--or not. It's hard to say given Apple's track record with extraneous repetitive string generation. Recall, for example, that iTunes' Apple TV strings have many references to games.

At this time, there is no existing 7.5 iPhone voice recording support. Although I can manually add voice recordings to my 30GB iPod video, I cannot do the same with my iPhone. (I tried adding recordings to ~/Library/Recordings, ~/Media/Recordings, and a host of other "obvious places".) WAV files added to the iPod video's ~/Media/Recordings folder automatically get read, loaded and re-parented into the iTunes library on your home computer. No such luck with the iPhone (and with non-WAV formats on the iPod).

In the mean time, please be aware that you cannot edit note names inside VNotes under 1.1.1. Working on that.
