Hi all,

I'm just wondering what type of MP3 recorder you use? I know there
are the
small handheld types used to record like an old tape recorder, but does
anybody use a software based, Windows O/S, for recording audio from the
radio?

IIRC you'll need to install the Lame MP3 DLL separately, but it's quite
straightforward.



Last version of Audacity I installed, the MP3 encoder was included in
the install.



MP3 is proprietary (Fraunhofer I think). FLAC sounds better and is free.
Memory is cheap so you can use Wave on Windows, for quality and
compatibility. Same resolution as audio CDs. Again though, .wav is
proprietary for uncompressed pcm type files.
