Sound recorder on Win 98

[Roy Bailey]

I have a large number of taped interviews which I would like to save as sound
files on my computer, so that, as well as being backed up, they are also
available for non-linear search and editing. The Windows 98SE Sound Recorder
will only record a minute of audio, whereas I need to record indefinite
amounts.

Is there a recorder program that will do this, preferably a free- or shareware
one? I seem to remember having something more suitable on my old machine which
used Windows 95.

I have been using PolderBitS with success. It costs around $30, but it does
fine with very long recordings. It is at http://www.polderbits.com/.

Stacks and stacks of shareware ones at varying prices. Two very
inexpensive ones (<$15) I know of are CDWave and RIP Vinyl; there are
bound to be others. My own program Wave Repair is freeware if you only
use it for recording.
