I have a gig recorded on minidisc that I want to convert to WAV or MP3 via the line-in jack on my pooter.
Can anyone recommend a FREE audio recording utility that will suit this purpose? Don't want a fancy program, just something basic, no extra functions needed, just the ability to record/save to my hard disk.
(I have already downloaded various things already, only to find they are a time limited trial, or are disabled after 5 uses etc).

Thanks in advance,
Todd

Assuming you're a windoze user, Sound Recorder

In reply to Philip:

I'm using XP, which doesn't actually have sound recorder like '98 used to (I think).
Anyway, wasn't that time limited per recording? I need to have the capacity to make 10 min tracks at least.

Ta anyway...

In reply to Todd Smart:

Have you got Nero Burning Rom (CD burning program)? That has Nero Wave Editor bundled with it, which can record - in fact that's what I use to transfer band rehearsals from mini-disc to audio cds.

You could also try Audacity, which is a free download from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX versions.

I downloaded Audiograbber (5 cow rating) from Tucows (www.tucows.com) the other day for my Dad to record his old tapes onto CD. Converts to wave or MP3. I downloaded and starting using this within about 5 minutes (including the obligatory virus check). Seemed fairly intuitive and the two tracks I tried copying both worked. I haven't spoken to him since to see if he has come across any problems.

He has a win98 system and I tried to use the soundrecorder facility, it seemed to be limited to 30 seconds.
