Recording Voice Memos

You can record voice memos using an optional iPod-compatible microphone (available

for purchase at www.apple.com/store). You can store voice memos on your iPod and

transfer them to your computer.

To record a voice memo:

1Connect a microphone to the Headphones port on your iPod and select Record to

begin recording.

2Hold the microphone a few inches from your mouth and speak. To pause recording,

select Pause.

3When you’re finished recording, select Stop and Save. Your recording is saved and listed

by date and time recorded.

To play a recording:

nSelect Extras > Voice Memos and select the recording.

Note: The Voice Memos menu item doesn’t appear until you connect a microphone.

To transfer voice memos to your computer:

Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you

enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.

If iPod is set to transfer songs automatically (see page 28) and you record voice memos,

the voice memos are automatically transferred to a playlist in iTunes when you connect

iPod. You see the new Voice Memos playlist in the iTunes Source list.
