I like the 24 hour display. I've been thinking a system like SoundCloud mig=
ht be more useful for nature recordings if it displayed sonograms instead o=
f wave forms. Displaying them vertically might be more useful too, so that =
the comments can all be displayed alongside the relevant section.
If no such system exists, I wonder if Sonic Visualiser output could be mani=
pulated into a scrolling movie file with scrolling comments for upload to Y=
ouTube.
