[Resolved] Saving an in-app recorded audio file and accessing it? please help!?

Hi I hope someone can help me…

I am creating an app where the user will record their voice and listen to it back. I have got this working which is fine in a single use. What I need to do is know how to save that audio file eg: testfile.aif

How do i save it, where do i save it and how would I find it again once saved, to use in another section of the app.

Example:
Imagine a learn language app: want to learn a specific word or phrase, record yourself and listen to it back, then save it in a “need more practice” menu to compare yourself improving over time. How would I name the file, where would i save it and how would I call it again later?

Is there a tutorial out there anywhere? I have searched everywhere and done the tutorials which teach how to record in the first place, I’ve also looked at the save and write data files but they seem to specify numbers and text. I just can’t find anything that shows you how to recall those recorded audio files?

I’m not a complete novice, but I am a bit confused by the file I/O so I think the answer is in there if anyone can help dumb it down a bit?

Please help…

Thanks loads

No worries, searching with so many threads can be hard to find what you want sometimes - I’ve just been around long enough to remember a lot of exact titles, haha :wink: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 32611 reply_id: 129747[/import]
