I would like to record a dialogue ( about 3-4 hours from FM Radio) and be able to download to computer for burning to cd.

Digital recorder seem to be the easy answer (providing I find one with long enough recording time), but could not find any info on sale literature about the downloading.

Anybody have any similar experience??


Thanks

For radio based audio, my suggestion would be to use the "audio in" port on your sound card in the computer and then covert it to MP3 or whatever digital format you want. Pretty simple and very cheap assuming you have a sound card that supports that functionality (my ~$30 Creative Labs does ;)).

FWIW, this works on music too but, it won't retain the full audio quality of a really clean source like a CD or a direct live microphone recording.

To add to that... If you get an adaptor for your headphone jack you can go directly from your radio to the computer. From there you can use a bunch of programs to convert to mp3.

There's a program called um... er... Total Recorder (I think that's what it's called) that works ok for this stuff.

Or you can use wave studio that comes with most soundcards and then convert to mp3. I think winamp can convert stuff to mp3.

Thanks for the replies.

I want to record the announcer at my local racetrack. Can never hear them over the cars (especially when I'm in one). They have a lowpower broadcast system on fm 88.5 during races.

So my current thinking is to have a small boombox, plug from headphone jack to mike jack on an RCA digital recorder (RP5012 $99.99 CDN). Then I should be able to download through my line in or mike jack on my PC, and then see if I can find the proper software to burn on audio CD.

Again, thanks for the help.
