Doug,
Sorry to ramble on but my oversight may have given the impression that recordings must be scheduled. Not so. You can manually start, pause, restart, and stop the recording process. After each stop, the next start will create a new file.
As you listen to a given station, you can record and pause, then just before you tune to another station, you stop the first recording, and start a new one. When you then take the RYW to your computer you will have a series of files, each representing a specific segment of your listening session.
The RYW files will have names comprised of an internal or external memory indicator, I or E depending on which memory was used during the recording; a three digit sequence number; an underscore character; and the start hour and minute in 24 hour format (e.g. E002_1732 for the second recording to external memory that began at 1732 hours). The sequence numbers are independent, internal from external, and do not reset on a given day even if all earlier files have already been erased when a new one is recorded. On a new day, if there are no existing files in the given memory, the sequence will begin again at 001. One additional caveat, the time-stamping is as described above, in the file name. When the files are transferred from the RYW to the PC, the PC file time-stamp will reflect the time the file was transferred, not the time the original recording was made.
Once at a computer, the files could be renamed to better reflect what is contained in the recordings. The original RYW file name is important with regard to time-stamp, when renaming, to preserve that information.
May be more than anyone wants to know, but I like to avoid misleading or providing incomplete information if I can help it.
Again, if you have questions, let me know.
