Oops, the recorder thingie isn’t “record now” it’s “sound recorder”.
If you save the sound portion as “WAV” files, once recorded to a CD it is playable to any CD player (theoretically).
There is a program called “Audacity”
Its freeware. Google it.
It will record anything that comes off the sound card, including the microphone line. No time limit for recording.
You may also have to download lame_enc.dll, which is also freeware, to work with Audacity. I believe the Audacity website explains this. Lame will allow you to encode an mp3 file with variable bit rates (you will be able to choose the quality of the recording)
www.oldversion.com
find the version 4.x of JetAudio.
Should do it for you. It will set itself as default music/video player if you let it.
The current paid version probably is awesome.
The current freeware version (last I checked) seemed to wimpy crippleware.
I just started using Sound Recorder last month and you CAN record for more than 60 seconds all you have to do is record for 60 seconds and then hit record again and it will record for another 60 seconds if you do this 15 times you will have a file 15 minutes long(it will say 900 seconds).
At this point all you have to do is use this same 15 minute file and tape over it (over and over again) but be sure to save it under different file names.
I use this method to tape some of my favorite online old-time radio programs. It works!
I see someone has mentioned "Audacity". You should be able to find that, and more, at one of the above sites.
And last, but not least:
