I use my iPhone to record interviews. I also regularly record songs that my band is working on at practice. The iPhone's native Voice Memo app works great for simple access to the features I need. Of course, after recording something, I certainly don't want to delete the memo. But I also don't want to keep it on my device, taking up space. Instead, I sync the memo with iTunes so I can store it and remove it from my iPhone.
It has been a while since we've done one of these basic tutorials, so we want to remind you that we recognize this information is common knowledge to many of you. If you are already familiar with how to move voice memos to your computer and know where they are stored, rest assured that we don't mind if you skip this article.
