Hi, I'm looking for a simple voice recorder (doesn't even need to record calls) that lets you a) save to mmc and b) lets you press a button to record (doesn't need to work in background), and a button to pause, so you can press record and add more to the same file (like ultimate voice recorder/ n70 built in voice recorder does - so I can takes notes while reading) c) a longer record time than 60 seconds. Does anyone know of anything that will work with the n70? I have searched and tried everything, alonmp3 doesn't work properly, erecorder doesnt work properly, powerdictaphone crashes and restarts my phone (update: found 1 version that worked - no pause function), total recall wasn't suitable for some reason, I think it didn't have a pause function, natural recorder not only crashed my phone but crashed it automatically everytime I restarted which was scary until I managed to get rid of it, ultimate voice recorder was nearly suitable, except that when I record I get a constant loud tapping in the background (same with phone mem/mmc, wav/amr) plus I hate the fact it starts with your phone and runs in the background with no option to disable except pressing #5455**** though I would have put up with that if it wasnt for the loud tapping (same with 2 different versions of the software I tried - though this is the only software that has produced tapping so far)

Please help! I can't believe with all the amazing software and games I've found on this forum there isn't a simple piece of voice recording software that doesn't crash and will record notes while reading. I have found a few that work without a pause function but this is no good as I will be making notes while reading so can't have either very long gaps between me speaking or hundreds of small files. The built in software would be perfect if it didn't have a ridiculous 60 second limit.

Thanks for any replies.

ok I think I have tried every single piece of software of this type on the forum (in some cases I tried 2 or 3 versions of the same software). only 1 piece of voice recording software actually worked as stated above (lets you record to mmc for longer than 60s with a pause function) for me on my n70, so if anyone finds themselves in this situation, get Alon Dictaphone 1.21 (the last bit of software I tried as a last resort as i saw alon mp3 first and it didnt work at all).

I have to say it's exactly what I was looking for, it's not too big, it doesn't hide itself or autostart or pretend to be some kind of james bond spy gadget, it's just a dictaphone. good app.

The apps I tried (and weren't suitable or didn't work)

Alon MP3 (didn't work properly)
VoiceRecorder (didn't work properly)
Erecorder (didn't work properly)
Extended recorder (didn't work properly)
Natural Recorder (didn't work properly)
Power Dictaphone (not suitable)
Smart Dictaphone (didn't work properly)
Ultimate Voice Recorder (didn't work properly)
Total Recall (not suitable)
Power Notes (not suitable)
and I think 1 or 2 others.
