State, 20 So. 3d 451, 452 (Fla. 5th DCA 2009) (providing that “[t]here is no definitive list of requirements that must be met to authenticate an audio tape” and holding that when “[t]he victim testified that she was a participant in the [recorded] conversation, that she had listened to the tape before trial, that the voices on the tape were Appellant's and hers and that the tape fairly and accurately memorialized the conversation ․ [n]o further predicate [for the authentication of the recording] was necessary”).
