Trying to save .wav files with new name every loop I have built a set up with an Arduino UNO hooked up to a switch, so that whenever the switch goes from HIGH to LOW it saves audio to an SD card. I am using the TMRpcm Library. The problem is the current code will only be able to record 1 audio file; I want to the Arduino to run for a long period of time collecting multiple audio files as the switch is turned on and off. I need a way that will allow it so everytime the switch is pushed back down the next file saved will have a different name than the one previously saved (preferably by an increased numeric value eg "1.wav" &amp; "2.wav"). I have tried audio.startRecording(audiofile+".wav", 16000, A0); and it makes it so no files save to the SD card accept an empty file simple titled 'WAV'. I have tried using a switch case but it will not allow me to reach a case over 10, without running out of RAM. Currently, my code can save 1 audio file but I want it to reach a point where it can save as many as the SD card can hold, without having to restart the software. 

My current code is here. Any help would be greatly appreciated 

//////////////////////////////////////// SD CARD
#include &lt;SD.h&gt;
#include &lt;SPI.h&gt;
#include &lt;TMRpcm.h&gt;
#define SD_ChipSelectPin 10
TMRpcm audio;
//////////////////////////////////////// SWITCH CASE
int audiofile = 0;     // # of recording
unsigned long i = 0;
bool recmode = 0;      // recording state
//////////////////////////////////////// SWITCH
int inPin = 2;         // input Switch Pin
int state = HIGH;      // the current state switch
int reading;           // the current reading from the switch

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(A0, INPUT);  // Microphone
  pinMode(inPin, INPUT_PULLUP); // Switch
  //////////////////////////////////////// SD CARD
  SD.begin(SD_ChipSelectPin);
  audio.CSPin = SD_ChipSelectPin;
}

void loop() {

  reading = digitalRead(inPin);
  ////////////////////////////////////////
  while (i &lt; 300000) {
    i++;
  }
  i = 0;
  ////////////////////////////////////////
  if (reading == LOW) {
    if (recmode == 0) {
      recmode = 1;

      Serial.println("Recording");

      audiofile++; // To move case
      audio.startRecording("1.wav", 16000, A0);
    }
  }
  ////////////////////////////////////////
  else if (reading == HIGH) {
    recmode = 0;

    Serial.println("Hung-Up");
    audio.stopRecording("1.wav");
  }
}
I would (and do) use snprintf to format a string as a filename:

// Global scope, or local static
uint32_t myFileNumber = 1;
char filename[12];

// in your function - results in 00000001.WAV
snprintf(filename, 12, "%08d.WAV", myFileNumber);


%08d will allow between 00000000.WAV and 99999999.WAV and always with 8 digits. Any more and it will get truncated and corrupted (100000000.WA) but won't cause a buffer overrun. You will have to take precautions that you never have more than 100 million files ;)
