Q1: What limitations are there in the trial version?
A1: Only low quality mp3s can be made. The bitrate and sample frequency are fixed.

Q2: How much does Recorder cost to buy?
A2: Recorder is shareware, not freeware. Version 1.0 costs $20. (Please also read the notes on the column to the right if you intend to purchase Recorder.)

Q3: How do I get started?
A3: Select the options, such as which sound device and line to record from, volume and the file to save to, then press "Start Recording".

Q4: What settings can I specify and what do they do?
A4: The current settings can be found in the registry (Start->run->type "regedit"->click OK) They are listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Nimisis->Recorder.
DEVICE changes the sound device from which sound will be captured.
LINE determines the specific line from the device to record from.
FILE sets the output mp3 file.

Q5: Does Recorder work with Windows Vista?
A5: Yes, but a couple of customers did report problems with the license validation and having the default directory for saving frames set to drive C:\, though these were resolved. (Note that the registry key on Vista is "Computer\HKEY_USERS\[some guid]\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nimisis\Recorder." This can also be found using "Find" in regedit.)

Q6: Is there a Mac version of Recorder?
A6: No, but there hopefully will be soon. A customer has reported being able to emulate Windows XP on Max OS X using a program called Parallels. VMWare should also do the trick.

Q7: This almost does what I want. Can I pay for some bespoke changes to be made?
A8: In short, yes. Contact us with details of what you need and we'll provide a quote.

A Paypal account is not required to buy a license. Credit cards are accepted. Before completing your order please first read the instructions below the screenshot.

Screenshot:

Purchase via the "Buy Now" button above. This takes you to the Paypal website where you can pay $20. (Payment via credit card is also accepted by Paypal.) PayPal then immediately notifies our database that the transaction has taken place. Please then retrieve your license by going to this page with your Paypal transaction email address and the two lines of info obtained from the License Info button on the Purchase Recorder dialog box that pops up when you start Recorder. This info contains your hard drive serial number and is used to encode the license. Note that the license, and therefore a fully functional version of Recorder will only work on that one computer. For multi-user licenses (i.e. more than 10) please contact us.
