>Applian Technologies just announced
>Freecorder
>, a free audio capture program for Windows Vista and XP. The
>program installs as a tool bar and lets you press the record
>button at any time you want to
>start recording. In addition, you can stream live Internet audio
>stations and record those, too.

>In my tests I installed Freecorder, restarted Firefox­it works
>in IE, too­and then was greeted with the new tool bar. I clicked
>the play button next to
>the drop down and was listening to music instantly. I then
>clicked the record button and an MP3 recording of what I was
>listening to was created on the
>fly. It really is that easy! I then went to
>Pandora.com
>, allowed Pandora.com to create a channel for me, and then as
>soon as it started streaming, I pressed the record button again.
>Instantly, I had a recording
>of my favorite artist in crisp MP3. If MP3 isn’t your thing,
>then you can select WAV as the output, and if you want to record
>audio from other sources,
>then you can do that, too (see the Settings picture below).

>capture the audio, so the company came up with this new tool
>bar. Speaking of the tool bar,
>it was created in partnership with Conduit, so it has a bunch of
>sharing / social networking-type functions built-in.

>I can’t say enough good things about this program. First, it’s
>free. Second, it’s insanely easy to use. I was literally
>recording seconds after restarting
>my browser. The only drawback I found is it does make your
>browser a little more busy, since it’s a whole new tool bar.
>However, there are a bunch of features
>in this new tool bar, so you may find yourself enjoying the free
>enhancements to your browsing experience.
