I typed the date in manually, at first, and copy/pasted it into the Voice Memo titles, pasting i.e. I added a timestamp date, before the file name, by observing the date displayed in the Voice Memo App, for the individual Voice Memo. The way I did this (if anyone is curious) was by editing the Voice Memos' file names, in the app itself. So, I can't listen to them in contextual, chronological order, without MANUALLY editing the filenames. The exported files show a new time stamp, generated when the export happens. In the current 2022 instance of Voice Memo App, if I Airdrop or Send or Drag & Drop the Voice Memo, I get a file that retains the Voice Memo's name but loses the its stamp. So, this method of exporting files does not satisfy my reasonable expectations. But, if I grab these files for a Music App playlist, I lose the identifying location or Title that I took the time to write in. The actual files are at ~/Library/Application Support//RecordingsĪt least, this version of the Voice Memo is sorted by date and in the way that preserves context, i.e. Naming the memo, in the app, doesn't apply the name to the actual file name, if I locate it in the Finder. Naming conventions have shifted multiple times, through the years, but the app still doesn't deliver the file name I need to preserve titles I input, for Voice Memos, AND time data, at once. To do this, I need to get them out of Voice Memos but listening to them, in context, in the order they were recorded, has been and continues to require unnecessary manual labor. I want to listen to them! Not one by one but, as a playlist, please. I have always had to devote significant time to organizing the files and file names to allow me to use them, on my Mac, and *listen to them* as a group. Tools have been added and those are helpful, too.īUT! The app has never made it easy to manage the recorded audio files. I've been using Voice Memos since 2009 and appreciate all the sounds and ideas it's enabled me to capture. How Can Apple Make Exporting Voice Memos Not Be a Ruinous Waste of Time?
