Recording Streaming Audio

Howard Parker · From: Maryland

I ran across the Free Hi-Q Recorder which allows you to "record what you hear" with your windoze PC. I've been using it to record YouTube audio direct to MP3 on an old Win98 laptop. The free version has some basic editing features.

It works very well.

And...it's free.

Many new PC's already have that function built in and a 3rd party program is not needed. The exception is the new Dell's with "integrated" audio (audio module on the motherboard) and they do not have the "what you hear"/"system mixer" option for streaming audio.

All of the current SoundBlaster sound cards do support the streaming audio function.

I'll go along with Howard on the Hi Q recorder. I've been using it for a couple of years. The free version records in MP3 only, so I bought the Hi Q converting software to convert MP3 to wave files if I need that format.

Hi Q is simple to use and does a good job. I would recommend it to anyone.

One comment on converting MP3 to wav. MP3 is something less than full fidelity (how much depends on the bit rate). If you convert an MP3 to wav it does not regain full fidelity - it is still at the fidelity of the MP3 file.

If you want full fidelity, "record" as a wav to start with. Then if you want an MP3 file you can create one.
