The developers considered including a save function, but opted not to because they wanted for the players to enjoy the game both extemporarily and viscerally. They believed that if a save function was included, then the game would be used more as a tool, where the player must open several additional menus and windows or must input file names to save.

Another reason was that it would require a large volume of flash ROM and would take a long time to save and read the data in order to save the voice files for Volvoice and Rec-Rec.

Absolutely no data is recorded onto the game cartridge at any time, which can be frustrating to a player who manages to compose a particularly elaborate or quality piece.

Although this problem can be overcome by connecting an audio recording device, such as a or a, to the headphone jack of the Nintendo DS, this solution is not practical for the average player.
