I don't know if recorders will time stamp a file name, but I use a free pro=
gram called Bulk Rename Utility which allows me to rename all of my files i=
n a particular folder from the name given by my recorder to a date and time=
format automatically. =0D

The program is very powerful and customizable. With a few keystrokes you =
can automatically read the file metadata and rename every file to something=
like 2016-08-30_22-41-36_001.wav or any other format that would be useful.=
Unfortunately, you can't use colons in a file name so the time 22:42:36 h=
as to be separated by some acceptable character which you can define.=0D

(The ability to enter custom formats is very powerful. I use a custom for=
mat for the file prefix to replace the recorder's file prefix with the date=
and time of the recording. The format I use is %Y-%M-%d_%H-%M-%S_. There=
is lots of good information in the help file about customizing formats)=0D

I use the Modified time in the file metadata rather than the Created time =
because the created time can be changed when I copy files to my computer. =
The Modified time keeps the original time of recording.=0D

It isn't straight out of the recorder, but it does get the job done quickl=
y for large numbers of files and would allow them to be easily sorted and a=
ppended.=0D

I have no affiliation with the program whatsoever, I have just been using =
it for years and have been 100% satisfied. It is free and although it does=
show ads, they are almost unnoticeable on the very bottom of the screen. =
I actually had to look to check if there really were any ads!=0D
