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 W7 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.

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.

It looks, from the postings, that it's possible to convert audio files in windows 7 to wav. I need to do that to import them into audacity for editing.
Can someone dumb it down and tell me how to do that?
Thanks!
