Home Recording - Recording live audio direst to MP3


Expert: Wayne Tapia - 6/16/2009

Question
I've been asked to record some interviews of World War II veterans for archiving purposes. I want to do it with my laptop which has XP Pro Operating System. Is there some software or something available that will allow me to record straight to MP3 without first going to WAV and then converting it? I've got to do an estimated 30-40 hours
of interviews and want to save as much time on it as I can and do it in a format that uses the least amount of hard disc storage and it's only audio so the fidelity is not very critical, such as music would be. Can you offer some suggestions?

Answer
CNet has a demo you can download here:
http://download.cnet.com/Direct-MP3-Recorder/3000-2168_4-10554930.html

It's one of those "free to try" demo things with a few features disabled unless you buy the full version. This may be the thing for you.

I tend to check CNet.com for this kind of stuff because they make sure they host clean demos - no viruses in other words.
