E.g. changing to "music" will give you an option to play the records with MPlayer.
Generated filenames contain date, time and .wav extension:
2011-02-28_09-32-06.wav

Always make sure to stop the recording or you will run out of space after some time.
I didn't understand the exchange of words from RCDIR to MUSIC.

I edited my ini file and I wrote it:

[Actions]
A S = !MUSIC=records; [ -d "/mnt/us/$MUSIC" ] || mkdir -p "/mnt/us/$MUSIC"; arecord -qN /mnt/us/$MUSIC/$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S').wav &
A E = !pkill -f arecord

But trying to initialize the dictaphone with launchpad, the message which must be "success" shows "failure". And I think the problem must be in my changes in record.ini file.

Pls help.
