Thread Name: Sound recording to Computer?
Subject: RE: Sound recording to Computer?
Use sound recorder if you really want to (and click the start button every minute...) but Audacity does it much better and is FREE. (and quite a small download).
With regard to file sizes, .WAV needs 10 Mbytes per minute (CD quality: 16 bit, 44.1 kHz sampling rate, what people usually mean by .WAV) .mp3 at 128kb/s needs 1 Mb per minute i.e. 1/10 of a .WAV file.
Audacity reads and stores in either format and can convert.
