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.

I have a 20 Mbyte amr file audio recorded. Now I'm not able to transfer it from my iPhone to pc. The file size exceed Gmail maximum file size attachement, and no pc's software like iBrick copy this file to the pc. I also try to move the file in a different place... nothing :(. Then I change the file permission from only Read to Write .... nothing. I need that file :( any idea? Every other type of file is copied without any problem.

When i got my iPhone i think i already saw an option "Manually manage music" but it didnt work like my old iPod Nano 4gb.
If this update is what i think it is, then this is awesome!
Actually, I think the Spotlight and Stacks enhancements to Leopard have pretty much left Quicksilver obsolete.

The problem with real voice recording is that you end up with a bunch of audio files stuck in your iTunes folder that can't be searched, so you end up playing all of the usual suspects looking for that brilliant idea you had about fish. (Something about mayonaise?)
With Jott, you call their free service and leave a voice message, which is then automatically transcribed into text and sent to your inbox as an email.
I added Jott to my Address Book, and from there added it to my Favorites list so it's always handy. Jott recongizes your phone number via caller id, so there's no passwords or logins to remember.
It doesn't get much easier than that.
I, for one, don't believe that there will soon be a voice memo app for the iPhone, nor a removable disk mode : in the localisable-strings file, I found voice memo strings for iPhone, but also for iPod and Apple TV. The voice memo strings might have been "inherited" from the "mobile phone" part of the file (remember the Rokr ?) as disk mode strings might just have been inherited from the iPod part. I just wish I'm wrong.
