Yes, the Orb can record images, maps, "memories" etc. But is there any evidence of it recording or playing back *sounds*? I can't recall any--and even if it can, it is unclear if it could play them back for an audience. Majikjon --Some Athyra somewhere is working on a magical device to record minstrel music and allow a listener to play it back later. He can call it an "mPod".
