Voice Recorders -- Different folder per patient?

I am helping my client switch over to a digital voicer recorder. I provided him with research, and he came up with a question that I could not answer, even after doing pretty extensive research here as well as the Internet. We are looking at the Sony ICD-MX20 and the Olympus DS-2300. Each uses removable memory sticks. He said he had read that they might create different folders for each recording session (i.e., a separate folder for each patient). He didn't seem to mind this but wondered if this would be a problem for me. I started thinking about it and thought that might be a hassle to have to open each one separately, not to mention the fact that it would really slow me down. It seems that the Olympus does not do this, but I could not find any info on the Sony regarding this. Does anyone have experience with this problem? Thanks for your help!

Default behavior with digital recording is to create a new file (not folder) for each dictation. You can just keep adding and adding on to a single recording file if you absolutely insist. Personally, I beat up any client who tries that since it makes it one heck of a lot harder to find a given dictation if they want a stat, to divide up work, to quickly confirm whether or not they did a dictation on patient X, etc. Also, they're all too likely to record over rather than add on at some point if they keep appending, which won't make for a happy client.
How files load depends on what playback as well as recording software you use. I load a batch of files at once and deleting the one I just did and skipping down to the next is a matter of just a couple of keystrokes. YMMV depending on how you set things up.
