SoundRecorder 1.0
http://homepage.mac.com/soundrecorder/
A freeware program to record sound on Macintosh computers.
SoundRecorder records sounds directly onto your hard disk. This allows you to record sound of almost any length (until your hard disk is full). You can use SoundRecorder in the background. Make sure other programs don't intensively use your hard disk at the same time, otherwise you will possibly get drop outs or an error message. SoundRecorder writes the data in a temporary file on your hard disk. When you choose to save the sound, the temporary data is written to a final file. When QuickTime is installed, you can convert and compress the data. The final file can then be opened with MoviePlayer or any other sound editing software.
