Q: Music memos won't play

It appears as though with old versions of music memos, anything save with a "/" in the file name like 9/16 creates a file that can't be replayed.  The wave form is there but the memo won't play.  Any solutions out there?

iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.5

    This might have been fixed in the recent 1.0.2 update as I just tried and it's not possible to use a slash in the name anymore (the slash is replaced with a dash).  Perhaps make a backup of your phone, do the upgrades and then give the new version a try.

    Using a "/" in filenames is problematic, because it is used in unix based file systems to separate the directory names in the path to a file. That is why these characters may be converted to different characters when saving a file.
