HarddiskOgg will help you capture analog audio from line in or microphone directly to Ogg Vorbis/Wave/MP3 format.
Here are some key features of "HarddiskOgg":
· Real-time encoding with bitrates from 32kbit/sec. up to 320kbit/sec.
· Stereo or mono recording from 8kHz to 48kHz
· Automatic numbering of output files
· Can be placed in the systray and activated by a single click
· Smart on-the-fly normalization for low-volume sources
· Uses the high quality, patent free Ogg Vorbis encoding engine. Ogg Vorbis easily outperforms MP3 in sound quality, especially at lower bit rates.
· LAME MP3 encoder compatible. However, due to patent issues HarddiskOgg ist not distributed with the LAME encoding DLL. If you want MP3 support, fetch LAME_ENC.DLL from the web, but make sure you have the appropriate rights for doing so.
· Command line mode for easy integration or scheduled recordings
· No fuss or stupid skinned interface, just works.
· HarddiskOgg is FREEWARE!
