Recording devices are often used to record discussions, conferences, meetings and the like. The recorded information is reviewed or processed afterwards for example in order to prepare minutes or notes. The known state of the art proposes to use devices comprising two receptacles for tapes. But this solution adds cost to the recording devices, which will not be accepted from all potential buyers as only a small number of the buyers will actually use this functionality. A recording apparatus (1) for recording of audio signals is proposed comprising an external interface (6) for an exchangeable storage medium (7) and an intermediate memory device (5), whereby the recording apparatus (1) is realized to use the intermediate memory device (5) and the storage medium (7) for storing the audio signals, whereby the recording apparatus (1) is realized for an interruption-free storage of the audio-signals during a storage medium (7) exchange, wherein a first storage medium is exchanged by a second storage medium, whereby during the storage medium (7) exchange the audio signals are stored on the intermediate memory device (5) and whereby the audio signals stored on the intermediate memory devi…
