The recordings are stored in [USER STORE]/records by default, you can change it by editing RECDIR variable in the ini file.
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.

This adds some further improvements to dsmid's Dictaphone mod, thanks dsmid and Gismo!
This version will transcode recorded audio directly into MP3 format on-the-fly using the LAME encoder, using about 40-43% CPU and ~100mA extra in the process.
The resultant file is encoded as a 128kbits/s 44.1KHz mono MP3 in the format [2012-01-21]-[14.08.55].mp3
Currently, you will need to have installed Optware for the Kindle and then the LAME package for this version to work. I may make a .bin installer for this if there is enough interest.
