How to record a sound (about 1 hour) in Windows XP

[Guest dstdst123@excite.com]

Hi

 

I want to record my voice conversation into my IBM Laptop running on

Windows XP.

 

It is about 1 hour in duration.

 

It seems that I can't use the "sound recorder", as it is 60 seconds

maximum.

 

Any pre-installed software with Windows XP that i can use freely?

 

Or, any good freeware to download?

 

Thanks.

 

cheers:)

Nothing within XP but there are many free sound recorders on

the internet. Many like Audacity from

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

 

For others do a Google search "sound recorder" free

Use Sound Recorder. You just have to give it a template file the

required length to record into. The default one is 60s.

 

What you do is record and save a 1 minute file, repeatedly insert the

file at the end until the total length is as long as you need, then

re-record over the entire file.

There are ways of "tricking" it if your situation can put

up with that kind of intrigue.

Audacity is a frequently-recommended free application.

But frankly, it is counter-intuitive and fiddly even to users

with long experience recording on computers. But you

can't beat the price if you can put up with it.

 

OTOH, I think that TotalRecorder is much more user-

friendly and at $18 is nearly "free". Check it out free...

Total recorder, especially when you add in the mp3 aspect, is my "go to"

for simple recording or transfers to computer. You can also record off

the web, audio only, if you want -- but only if permission is granted,

of course.

 

Been using it for about 6 years, trouble free.

Some other applications include a usable WAV recorder. Nero has its

Wave Editor. Exact Audio Copy has one. CDEx has one.

 

The original poster may already have an alternative to Windows Sound

Recorder and may not know it.
