If you can change the name of the file you can change the location, and it tell you where to find it, and it's default location is right where Windows has been defaulting for a long time (c:\users\\documents). And I'd bet it's the exact same behavior Sound Recorder has had for a long time, it's not like they've souped up Notepad or Paint since the early 90s.

No. There was literally just a box to type a name in and a “rename” button. Not any type of “file save” dialog box which lets you select a drive and path, etc.

This seems to be a 8.1 “feature.” See the following, for example:

Or this “helpful” Microsoft help file:

“Your recordings are stored within the Sound Recorder app. If you uninstall the app, your recordings will be deleted. To send the recording file to someone through another app, use the Share charm.”
