I also like to know how to directly make mp3 or wma files.


Total Recorder (http://www.highcriteria.com/) will record
from any source (including streaming sources) and will save
as WAV, WMA, MP3, and several other file types. The
price has gone up to US$18, still worth every penny.

Better yet, get Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net) - do it all
in one app, and it's open-source freeware.



Thank all for help. I downloaded the audacity, and did some recording.
When export the file as MP3, I was asked whether I like to locate
lame_enc.dll now? I clicked 'Yes'.

But it said 'Could not open MP3 encoding libary!' So I can only export
it as wav file, but not mp3.

I may have to try another software. It may be hard for other people to
figure out what the problem is without looking at my computer.

Ah, yes, Audacity requires the LAME MP3 codec, which is also freeware... forgot about that. It's a free download from many sites, including this one: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?lame_enc

Download it, unzip it, place the .dll file anywhere, and when Audacity asks to locate it, just browse to where you put that file. That's all there is to it - then it will save directly to MP3.
