Nice find Paul.

I did a quick check of some orchestral recordings I did last Sunday on my S=
D702. The concert was scheduled to start at 2:30 but was a few minutes late=
. I hit record as the orchestra walked onto the stage. When I got home, I c=
opied the files via firewire to my iMac. I then duplicated the iMac folder =
to use for editing, thus leaving the original files untouched (edit wise) T=
he concert recordings consist of 3 .wav files.

Looking at the files in Finder I see the following. (I'm ignoring the day h=
ere)

FileName - Date Created - Date Modified
Norwood-R1.Wav - 18 April 2010, 14:31 - 18 April 2010, 15:22
Norwood-R2.Wav - 18 April 2010, 15:45 - 18 April 2010, 16:10
Norwood-R3.Wav - 18 April 2010, 16:10 - 18 April 2010, 16:33

So the SD stamps the time when I hit record as the creation date and the ti=
me I hit stop as the modification date.

Now, in the duplicated folder

FileName - Date Created - Date Modified
Norwood-R1.Wav - 18 April 2010, 14:31 - 18 April 2010, 20:00
Norwood-R2.Wav - 18 April 2010, 15:45 - 18 April 2010, 22:05
Norwood-R3.Wav - 18 April 2010, 16:10 - 18 April 2010, 20:21

So OSX has kept the original details, but the modified time is when I'd had=
 a play with them.

It's nice to know that the create date/time remains after copying them to t=
he iMac
