“Every time I finish a 4-hour meeting recording with Audio Recorder Pro, I’m left with over 80 files named like ’14-00-00_1.mp3′ and ’14-00-00_2.mp3′. If I need to find the segment where we discussed the project budget at 3:30 PM, I have to right-click each file to check its creation time—it takes at least 20 minutes, which is such a hassle!” This was a common frustration shared by Thomas Ehlert, a professional from Berlin who frequently records long meetings, in his feedback to us.
Thomas is far from alone. Across work and daily life, many users rely on Audio Recorder Pro’s segmented recording feature: trainers need to extract key chapter highlights from 6-hour course recordings, music producers search for inspirational snippets in hours of material, and journalists locate critical quotes in lengthy interviews. They all split recordings into 1-minute, 5-minute, or other intervals—but the old naming system left them stuck. Previously, filenames were formatted as “start time + sequence number” (e.g., “11-00-39_1.mp3”, “11-00-39_2.mp3” for a recording starting at 11:00:39). With over 100 segments, sequence numbers alone gave no clue to the actual recording time. Users had to repeatedly check Windows file properties for timestamps—a tedious process that often led to mistakes due to eye strain.
Listening to users and continuously improving the product experience is a core value at Gilisoft. After receiving feedback from Thomas and others, our R&D team immediately launched a needs analysis and confirmed “accurate timestamping for segmented recordings” as a critical pain point. Following 2 rounds of user interviews, 5 iterations of feature logic debugging, and over 10 compatibility tests, we are proud to introduce the new “Segmented Filename with Exact Creation Time” feature for Audio Recorder Pro—solving this problem once and for all!
Now, when you enable segmented recording, each file’s name directly displays the exact time that segment was created, aligning perfectly with intuitive user habits. Just as Thomas hoped: if a recording starts at 11:00:39 and is split every 1 minute, the first segment will be “11-00-39.mp3”, the second (created 1 minute later) “11-01-39.mp3”, the third “11-02-39.mp3”, and so on. Once the feature launches, Thomas will be able to find the 3:30 PM (15:30:00) segment of his 4-hour meeting in just 10 seconds—simply by searching for files containing “15-30-00” in their names. No more checking file properties one by one, and a 90% boost in work efficiency!
This upgrade also excels in more scenarios: Trainers can quickly organize audio clips for “Chapter 3” using filenames like “10-20-00.mp3” (corresponding to 10:20 AM). Music producers who record late-night inspiration at 2 AM can easily locate that impromptu melody the next day with “02-15-30.mp3”. The new feature turns “searching for audio by time” from a tedious chore into a one-click task.
Notably, the feature’s design draws on the familiar naming logic of popular tools like Open Broadcaster Software—ensuring zero learning curve for long-term users and easy adaptation for new ones. As Thomas commented during the internal beta: “Now the filenames make sense at a glance! It matches the workflow I’m used to with my live streaming software, so I don’t have to memorize which sequence number corresponds to which time anymore.”

Great news! The latest version of Audio Recorder Pro, featuring the “Segmented Filename with Exact Creation Time” function, will be officially released this week—stay tuned! Existing users just need to update to the latest version to unlock this convenience. New users can download and install the software to immediately enjoy accurate, efficient segmented recording—no more struggling to find the right audio file.
Choose Audio Recorder Pro for a recording experience that fits your real needs! In the future, we will continue to gather user feedback, turning more “pain points” into “product highlights” to deliver an even better audio recording experience for you.
