computer. You can set voice memo quality to Low or High.
Note: Voice memos can’t be longer than two hours. If you record for more than two hours,
iPod classic automatically starts a new voice memo to continue your recording

you enable iPod classic for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
If iPod classic is set to sync songs automatically (see
on page 19)
and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically synced to a playlist in iTunes

playlist in the list of playlists on the left side of the iTunes window.
