I have iTunes 10 and an iPod 4th gen. I have 347 songs so far, and 32 voice memos for a total of 379 items in iTunes. I have found that giving the voice memo a file name (in Get Info) causes the ID tag and therefore the header of the m4a to have its time and date changed from when the original file was created. (There seems to also be some difference when the memo is synced to iTunes, I'm still trying to figure that out).
So I created a voice memo (#33) and used the custom label function on the iPod itself. When you do this, you can see the beginning of the custom label on the iPod, and the time is removed, and placed below, beside the date.
I synced this memo to iTunes and got the result I was looking for. So to retain the correct time and date it seems that this is the way to do it, provided you label the memo right after creating it. (As I mentioned before, I think the date and time of the date modified in windows may be when it is synced. I'm still not sure about that).
My problem is that I want to label my 32 memos and not have the date and time updated, so I think that if I rename the memos on the iPod and then sync them, I may be able to retain the correct date in "Get Info / Summary" and the "Date Modified" in windows explorer.
So I created a 34th memo, and waited a bit, noting the time, and then updated the custom label. I then synced it to iTunes. I'm pretty sure it retained the initial date and time, but I'm not sure, as I deleted the memo to try to resync it to simulate labeling my older memos. But I don't have a 3rd party media manager I'm looking at getting one tomorrow, because what happened next was bizzare.
Somehow the 33rd memo got deleted off the iPod during a sync. I don't recall doing it. And the items on the iPod were 381 (347 songs + 34 memos) and now only 380 in iTunes (because of the one I deleted). It's bizzare because the memo was not listed on the iPod itself (#33 was missing and I deleted #34 in iTunes, I know because it was in the recycle bin and also #34 is 30 seconds long and #33 is 38 seconds long). And it wasn't listed in the iPod--> music even though it said 381 items! It deleted it, or I screwed something up I don't know anymore in retrospect. So I dragged and dropped it onto the iPod and then it was showing, but not in the voice memo playlist. So I dragged it there as well, and it STILL didn't show up on the iPod itself, even after restarting the iPod. After deleting it and manually dragging it over, it showed on the iPod itself. So 381 items on the iPod and 380 in iTunes and I need 3rd party software to continue this experiment. My apologies for the long post I tried to keep it concise. Any recommendations for a piece of software that I can use for syncing memos from the iPod to iTunes for around $20 would be appreciated. Also any comments on labeling memos and date/time issues. Thanks!
