Recording in windows from device
« on: April 13, 2009, 07:17:53 AM »
I want to record about an hour's worth of things off of my radio and place them onto a CD in .wav format so any radio could play it.

I recorded what I wanted onto my radio, used a male to male audio cable and hooked it up to my microphone port. At that time I realized that the windows based sound recorder will only record information for 60 seconds per file.

Is there a way around this?

Is there some software someone recommends for this?

Since a CD-R is about 80 minutes, should I only record about 75 minutes so there is a title track?

Thanks for the assistance in advance!

Amen!

And by the way, if you have one, use the Line-In port, not the microphone port (better quality).

Also if you have a creative soundcard, you can enable a 'what-u-hear' option in audacity to record any sound that passes through your soundcard. This lets you rip any streaming audio for example (go to last.fm or similar, tune in your favourite genre and record).
