An apparatus for recording identifying data of electronic media-taped material i s provided in two embodiments. A mechanical embodiment has a rectangular case (10) with dimensions approximating those of the associated tape cassette container, to facilitate compatible storage. Movable slides (18) are mounted within case (1 0), with markings on their upper surfaces, identifying status and subjects relating to tape condition and recorded material. During ret rieval of material previously recorded, the operator can determine taped material subject and duration, recorder counter reading and time slot status by viewing the subject displayed in relation to panel face (12) labels (12a). The electronic embodiment consists of a rectangular case (10) of a size and shape to conveniently fit one hand of the operator. Case (10) holds electronic/e lectrical parts, including power supply (46), microcontroller (48), external RAM (60), display controller/drivers (62, 62a and 64) and LCD (14c), necessary to facilitate input/output and data processing. Each unit case (10) carries legends, as appropriate, identi fying useful information; e.g., instructions (26), icon key (22), specifications (24 and 25a), display map (15), state and subject settings (25c), and time slot availability list (25d).
