Audio Recording

This is just a "give back" post, to let you guys know my findings;

I have been looking for a way to use my TP2 to record business meetings, and phone calls - as I have really good memory, but it just doesn't last! LOL. Which means I forget what was said.

I considered a 3rd party hardware product such as one from Sony, or Olympus or Yamaha. They range in price from around $70 to $400 and can record in stereo, BUT you need to carry another gizmo, they can't record phone calls (unless on speaker), are clumsy to use with phone, and expensive. Plus they are hardly "stealth"

The TP2's in-built recorder just sucks. It can't work with the screen off and can't record phone calls, can't select recording codec, like MP3, etc.

*** NOT RECOMMENDED ***

I looked at programs from VITO, and in fact purchased the license, but it is currently useless. It won't accept KBD input, so I couldn't enter my reg key! Plus it didn't record the incoming voice of the phone calls! Not recommended - until these points are fixed by the author.

Then I bought Resco's Audio Recorder. At $25 it is dearer than Vito's, but it works! Phone calls are auto recorded, and supports MP3, OGG and many other codecs. So I am happy to recommend it!

Disclaimer: I have no commercial interest in any of the products I have mentioned.

It is the one I am using and other than the occasional restart, it does fine. I occasionally have to re-enable it.

Crazy thought,. Use this in conjunction with Groovefish and record songs?

I too was interested in being able to record what is playing through the system rather than from the mic, does anyone know of an app that can do this record from the system output and not the mic?

i have a touch pro. i tried the trial version of resco audio recorder, but it doesnt record both ways for me. is it because of the trial version? can anyone verify that it records both sides on a touch pro for the purchased version? i dont want to buy it and then it doesnt work...
