I agree with you, Phil
This is how I record annotations for some web content I want to use in the
future.  I save the audio file in an "audio folder" in the same folder as
the web assets, and time stamp it by  (the seconds &

--start button script
on mouseup
  put the filename of this stack into thisPath
  set the itemdel to "/"
  delete the last item of thisPath
  put the seconds & "snd.aiff" into FN
  put thisPath & "/" & FN into pathFN
  answer "Are you ready to record ?  "& pathFN
  record sound file pathFN

  stop recording
end mouseup
