Tested this further on a new Android 14 install by:

1. Installed both Fossify Voice-Recorder and SMT Voice-Recorder
2. Recorded audio in both apps
3. Verified with a file manager that both apps placed audio in the default directory
4. Then checked both apps and they were unable to find each other's audio files and could only locate what they recorded

can this get triage

Hey, so I ran into this as well, I'm running Android 13.

What I first suspected this was was some sort of a metadata issue, however I tried a workaround by creating a folder within Recordings called FossifyRecordings and paste the recordings in there, where for some reason it picked them up. However, I also ran into #22, because I had almost 250 recordings from the SMT app.

Note related to this issue but do you guys also get corrupted sped up recordings when recording to SDCard?

[RustoMCSpit]

does this rescan everything every time the app is opened? ive kept the app open for 5 mins and it's still loading??

[RustoMCSpit]

edit: it does. new entries cant be accessed until the program goes through literally every recording. if youve over 1000 recordings this becomes unusable.

It's technically not a new behavior, it is just more apparent now because the app can load recordings from previous installations. Also, the previous version would probably crash (#22) before it finished loading that many recordings.

I have created a bug report #80, the workaround for now is to select a folder with less recordings.
