I got a new olympus digital voice recorder for Christmas, which means I have to use <a href="http://code.google.com/p/odvr/">http://code.google.com/p/odvr/</a> to download the recordings to my linux/ubuntu computer. Unfortunatly when downloading the wav files the recorded date gets lost, but a table of the times can be displayed on the command prompt.<br>
<br>How does JOSM Audio get the date/time of the wav files?<br>I tried changing the linux files atime and mtime (last accessed/modified time), but the location marker for the audio does not change. Is it using the ctime (created time)? I can not change the ctime and it gets set to the time the files were downloaded off the voice recorder.<br>
<br>I have filled an issue with the odvr downloader, but I want to confirm that it is the ctime that needs to be right for JOSM. I was recording ~2sec comments as I passed a location, so I have a trip with 60 recordings waiting to be mapped.<br>
<br>My final idea is maybe I could make a JOSM plugin (now I've learnt some Java) that takes a fixed-width txt table of time stamps and names, and match the times to an open gpx file to create waypoints. This would mean I have to open audio files outside of josm, but at least I would know where they were recorded. Such a plugin may help people with other media problems, ao I wonder has something along those lines already been done?<br>
<br>I've been told audio mapping is more amazing than photo mapping, and it would be ideal cycling in these cold winter months. Sadly it's not going to well yet, so I hope to get this sorted.<br><br>Gregory Marler<br>
