Microsoft Sound Recorder Maximum Record Time

[Guest PSRumbagh]

Is there any way to increase the recording time beyond 60 seconds in the

Microsoft Sound Recorder V5.1 that comes with Win XP Home Edition SP2? It

now records 16 bit mono audio at 22.05 KHz sampling rate, which I would like

to maintain. My laptop has about 600 MB of free unused RAM and 1GB total.

Nope.

 

Buy a third-party recorder if you can't find a freeware one.

 

I highly recommend GoldWave.

Wrong Grumpy. You can increase the recording time.

I suggest using Audacity on SourceForge

There's a 'work-around'...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/82215/

 

Or you could just download and install many of the better freeware

applications out there that would likely do a better job at no cost to you

and give you the feature you want. ;-)

 

Search using Google!

There's quite a bit of discussion on this. The standard "trick" is to

pre-record silence for the length of time you need. See, e.g.,

That is for Win95 and Win98. Even if it did work for WinXP, what a

kludgey way to do it. To get an hour of recording time, you'd have to

go through the procedure 60 times.

 

And it would take OVER an hour to just setup that file.

The original question was "Can you increase the recording time" , you

said "nope", and the answer to that question is clearly "yes".

Record 1 minute, save it. time = 65 seconds.

Insert the 1 minute file, now two minutes long, save it again. Time 70

seconds.

Insert the 2 minute file, now 4 minutes, save it again, time. 75

seconds.

Insert 4 minute file again, 8 minutes, save again. Time 80 seconds.

Insert 8 minute file, 16 minutes, save again. Time 85 seconds.

Insert 16 minute file, now 32 seconds, save again. Time 90 seconds.

Insert 32 minute file, now 64 minutes long, save again. Time taken 95

seconds.

 

Wassup Grumpy, slowin' down in your old age, hmm?

 

You were WRONG on the original question, and the whole world knows it!

 

Good Luck.
