Can't think of the name of a program...

[lostcarpark]

I used to have a program that would record whatever was playing on the sound card to a WAV file that could then be compressed to an MP3. Can anyone suggest a freeware program that does this? If it can save it directly as MP3, that would be a bonus. If it's open source, better still.

Thanks in advance!

OpD2D (Output Direct 2 Disc I think) from opcode.co.uk if I remember correctly.

Here's a set of instructions and the downloads that I put together for watervole Record from soundcard instructions and downloads

More on troubleshooting ...

... there's some hints at the bottom of that link for troubleshooting why sound may not be being recorded or if it is too quiet or too distorted.

I found that recording by time produced vastly too big files on my PC, so I know set it to about 40Mb per half hour (the BBC radio comedy and folk programmes I record come out around 38-40Mb per half hour).

There may be later versions of the recorder with variable bit rates etc.
