I'm running an LTS version of Xubuntu. I have installed a Sound Recorder and have recorded a test sound. I have restarted the app, to check if this is a permanent recording (and that recording stays, so it is somewhere in the file system).

However, i'm unable to find where Sound Recorder puts the files. I have checked '~/Music/' and looked through the directories for something titled 'SoundRecorder' or 'recorded audio', but nothing is there.

Ok, I'm unsure how I managed to miss it...

~/Recordings is the answer.

At least in 2022, on my system it stores files in ~/.local/share/org.gnome.SoundRecorder/, and without any file extension.

    I have switched to Debian from Ubuntu. And i haven't used SoundRecorder in a while, but this is not a very useful directory. Thanks for the update, i am sure others will find it helpful!

  • Yes, on my Ubuntu 23.04 it is at ~/.local/share/org.gnome.SoundRecorder/ Linux news said an upcoming update would allow user choice.
