Windows 7: audio capture

I want to capture the audio from my laptop and make that file a MP3. I used to use a program a long time ago with XP that I believe was called G2 Recorder. Is there similar software that I can use with Windows 7 ?



There seems to be a lot of media programs, so I turned to the board here to get some recommendations. I have been a Linux user for the last 3 years and I feel like such a newbie with Win 7.

Thank you

Hi windowsfree,

Here's an article explaining how to capture computer audio in Windows 7: Windows 7 Articles » Windows 7 Audio Capture Not Disabled

It mentions Audacity, which is a free audio editor available here: Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder

Good luck!

Thank you - that is what I wanted to do. How do I mark this thread as solved?

I would like to recomend GoldWave. It does Mp3's, editing, ogg files lots of jazz.

You're welcome, windowfree - and don't worry about marking it Solved, I've flagged it and someone will be along shortly to do it Please let us know if you need anything else. Thanks for the suggestion, Fantail!
