Selective transmission storage and playback for communication device

A transmission playback device for selectively storing discrete transmission data and configured for use with a telecommunications accessory device, comprising:

• a memory assembly including a first storage buffer and a second storage buffer, wherein the first and second storage buffers are identical;
• the first storage buffer having memory designated for continuously recording transmission data;
• the second storage buffer having memory designated for selectively storing a discrete portion of the transmission data;
• a controller operated by actuation means including an actuation button for exchanging the designations of each storage buffer upon a request by a user and playing back the stored transmission data,
• wherein when the first storage buffer is designated for continuously recording transmission data, and the second storage buffer is designated for selectively storing a discrete portion of the transmission data, the controller causes the first buffer to be designated for selectively storing a discrete portion of the transmission data and the second buffer to be designated for continuously recording transmission data upon receipt of said user request.
