Doug,
I mentioned output from earphones and speaker but failed to make it explicitly clear that a mono speaker is built-in. It is mounted on the underside, so it might require turning the RYW over to hear best. Because of the speaker's small size, earphones may be more practical for listening to difficult audio recordings. Or possibly feeding the phone audio-out to a more robust self powered speaker. But for general purposes and quick checks, there is a built-in speaker.
Earphone output is available during playback and recording from any source. Speaker output is available during playback or when recording from the AM/FM radio, but not when recording from the internal mike or from the line-in connection, or any time the earphones are plugged in.
When a recording is stopped, it can be immediately played back. There is no "append" function, so once stopped, any additional recording would create a new audio file. But going back and forth amongst files is a straightforward, sequential process of clicking on the skip-to-beginning and skip-to-end buttons when playback is stopped. Files are identified only by sequence number and recorded duration on the RYW display, so it might be necessary to keep some notes of what was recorded where. (I mentioned before how the file names appear on the PC, and once downloaded to a PC, the file names could be changed to better reflect the content.) Extraneous files on the RYW can be easily erased by clicking the erase button once, which starts the file playing so you can confirm the erasure, then clicking that button a second time, erasing the file and freeing the memory space. RYW resident files can also be erased via the USB connection from the PC.

Excellent explanations. Is playback a simple issue while still connected to the radio? I haven't looked this item up yet, but is there a speaker for the playback? Thank you once again. 73- Doug
