Abstract: The inability to attach more than one audio file to a single image file is an example of a problem encountered in image recording devices that include an audio recording function whereby audio information can be recorded and played back along with previously captured image files. A major disadvantage of prior image capturing systems is that only one audio file could be attached to a single image file. The present invention discloses an audio-attached image recording and playback device that allows one or more audio files to be associated with a single image file using an audio file identifier for each audio file. The audio file identifier includes an audio file attachment position that has coordinate information about a specific portion of the image that is displayed on a monitor. The user defines the specific portion by using a cursor to select the specific portion. Audio information is recorded and is associated with that position on the image.
