I usually start each recording by dictating the date and time and giving a brief description of what the recording is about. Including the date and time is just a habit, though; it’s not really necessary. Most of the mid-range consumer-grade recorders and all of the pro-grade recorders come with software for downloading and managing audio files. This software will keep track of the timestamps for you. The Olympus dictation module, for instance, can be set up to display the time the recording was completed, the time it was downloaded, and a lot of other parameters like the file worktype, which is a key used to categorize the file.
