tech speak - replay v play back

Hi,

There is a car navigator, and there is a logfile created with this navigator.
The logfile is a trivial ascii file consisting of a series of (epoch, X-coord, y-coord) records.

I can run such logfiles on my PC to (a posteriori) view my car position on the map from epoch to epoch.

Sorry for that long introduction.... Now to my question.

Are the following versions equally natural/common/understandable/etc:

You can play back your logfiles on your PC
You can replay your logfiles on your PC
