My sound recorder records for 1 minute only. Is 2 minutes possible? URBAN <drukuran[ at ]googlemail.com> 11/3/2008 8:05:46 PM Hello Basic Expert, I have a good radio with a circular stereo jack hole in the back. I can join the radio to my Windows XP computer using a cable with 2 stereo jacks, the other jack going in the audio "line-in(?)" circular hole on the PC. I can start recording to my "sound recorder" perfectly well in WAV format but only for 1 minute. All I need is recording for 2 minutes . I'll be very happy with 2 minutes. Can a brainy expert suggest what to do? Thanking you in advance, Regards, URBAN *********************************************

Can a brainy expert > suggest what to do? This is intentional i.e. the audio recording module included free as part of Windows is limited to 1 minute. MS did this by design (in 1998) so as not to alienate vendors of audio software. You can probably find by now public domain software for this function, e.g. http://www.audacitypro.com/ -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Then, click Edit, Copy, and click Edit, Paste Insert. This will add 60 more seconds. Click Edit, Paste Insert again as many times as you need. Save as a "template file" (name it something like long record.wav.) Then, when you want to record something longer than 60 seconds, open the long record.wave file and record over the top of the existing (blank) recording. Make sure you save the new recording with a new filename.

It's free, fantastic and works great, and usually the learning curve is short. Even has a "what u hear" feature: If you can hear it, you can record it. Twayne
