There are also "Play" and "Delete" buttons.  Do these buttons mean the
recording is playing and has been deleted or do they mean that if you click
them, then they will "Play" or "Delete" the recording? :)

Doesn't seem abiguous at all if you think about all the other buttons
that are there.  You click a button to do the action printed on the button
label.  You Press "Play" on a CD player to play the CD, you press "Stop"
to stop playing.  You press "Auto Expire" to turn ON Auto-Expire for a
recording.  You press "Don't Auto Expire" to turn OFF Auto-Expire for
a recording.
