How do I record a LONG LONG sound file - I have Win Xp Pro - Wnbook M series 2003

[Suga]

Hi.

I wanted to record a lon sound file ... say read a child's book about 35
pages long.... for instance... Cat in the Hat.

I want to record and save it and transfer it to an audio CD-r. I will be
speaking into my headset mic that is hooked into the PC.

Well, all I can figure to record on is the stuoid sound record which will
only let me record 60 seconds at a time. THAT STINKS!!!

is there any other option with the programs I ALREADY HAVE on the computer??

Thanks

microsoft.

If you wanna use sound recorder create the wav with 2secs of sound in it
save it close it reopen in sound recorder and record away and you can then
go above the 60 second limit but no idea if it will go as big as 35 pages
worth of speach

I don't know what software you already have on your computer, so can't
really be definitive. The sound recorder that comes with XP is very
limited and you should consider it's capabilities in the context that
it's a freebie.

I believe there are many programs available to buy or find free on
internet which do what you want. I'm also led to believe that Microsoft
Plus! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/plus/PlusHome.asp has a recorder
that will record longer. I don't know limits. Check it out.

Yeah that should work and it's free. You can set it up to take the
microphone as input and output to a file. It's easy to configure and you can
vary the data rate if you find that your file is too huge.
