Windows 7 - Sound Recorder

Sound Recorder

Our messaging platform only supports wav files, which makes Sound Recorder in XP an excellent recording tool. For our customers using Vista machines, we instruct them to download a copy of Audicity, which allows them save a record message is a wav format.

My questions is... Will Windows 7 Sound Recorder allow you to save a voice recording in a wav format without having to jump through a bunch of hoops.

Vista really confused our customers because the drop-down asked you to "save as" but it only supports wma.

Hello Atlanta, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sorry, but Sound Recorder in Windows 7 only supports being saved as a WMA file as well.

Yes, however we can simply convert file to WAV using CMD prompt.

Syntax:

"Copy filename.wmv(single space) newfilename.wav/mp3"

It worked for me

You can save in .wav format by starting the program with a parameter...

soundrecorder /file outputfile.wav
You can put this line in a shortcut.

Also, the XP sndrec32.exe will work if you copy it over.
