What about Loop Recording? That's when you record like a 15 minute segement continuously, and you can cut and save a portion of this "dynamic" segment at any time. This is great while listening to radio on the Internet, when you hear a song you like, even though it has already started, you can start recording from the very begining of the song by recording from the loop, which in turn is recording from the Internet. Or like if you sometimes experience heart problems, you can be fitted with a loop heart monitoring/recording device that saves a 6 hour data segment continuously. After 6 hours the data at the front of the loop is lost as new data is added to the end of the loop. If you experience heart problems for a few seconds, then you go to the hospital within the next hour or so, wait around in the waiting room for an hour or so, and finally when you see the doctor, they can retrieve data representing your heart activity for the last 6 hours, which hopefully includes the few seconds that you were having the problem.

 * Well, we don't have an article called Loop recording, so why don't you create it? (You'll have to create an account, but it's no big deal.) Or, if you prefer, you could start a new section on Recording under the existing article Tape loop. Good hunting! Melchoir 23:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
