Software that automatically sorts by date

[newsphotog]

I tried searching the archives about this, and came up empty-handed. Is there any scanner recording software (no scanner control necessary) that will automatically end a recording at midnight each night and then start recording onto a new file for the new day? I either overlooked or couldn't find software that has this capability. All that I saw were programs that will record one large file until you tell it to stop. I want to be able to leave it fully unattended.

What scanner(s)? That might affect your options.

Well, to begin with, it will have to be an eclectic variety of scanners consisting of RadioShack and Bearcat. I don't need scanner control. It will eventually all be Bearcats but, unfortunately, I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on upgrading equipment.

I don't know if this is acceptable, but Xcorder will start a new file each hour.

Another vote for Xcorder here.

I am looking for something similar. I want to start a WAV recording at a specified time, or have it record from a start time to an end time (unattended).

Thanks, I think Xcorder will work for my needs. I'll have to play with it for a bit tonight.

I think Scanner Recorder can do that.

Whoops, actually, I think Xcorder could do that as well.

ScanControl will do this as well. Each hour it will create a new folder by time, so your layout looks something like this:

\audio_files
\012009
\0000
\0100
\0200.. etc

However, it depends on what scanner you use and whether it is compatible with ScanControl.
