Hi Nakia, Ok, so here is what I think is happening is this. It does seem that the recording is continuing, as you do get the entire thing. Must be the OS not updating the file size in real time. I'm thinking the problem lies in that when you issue the LC play command, it reads the file as it s

Sorry, I'm confused... Did it play what you recorded as you were recording? Did it stop playing or stop recording? I never saw the file size increase until it stopped recording, but that could be the OS not updating the file size until then. If that's the case you could create a new player ever
