Is Voice Recording in MP3 a crazy feature?

I've just bought a 528 stick and tried a interesting feature: Recording voices in mp3 format. Msi said that recording in mp3 will take only 1/10 of space compared to wav. They lied, recording in this format with any quality take at least 128Kbps, that mean it cost the same with Best quality mode of wav. What is the hell going on?

Even if it is stuck at 128kbps the file size should still be way smaller than the wav file.
I don't think so, jeremy. The waves' bit rate are 32Kbps, 64Kbps, 128Kbps corresponding to 8KHz, 16KHz and 32KHz of sample rate. They are all compressed in IA PCM format, so they are almost always the smaller in term of size. MP3s under 44KHz of sample rate should encoded in lower bit rate rather than always be 128Kbps so that would be more economic and MP3 recording feature have its full advantages!

Anyone use a voice recorder? MP3 editing? Compatibility issues?

Specifically the Sony ICD-PX820.
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=1055 1&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665963672
I purchased one and haven't removed it from the package yet. It says it records to Mp3 format but the included software is PC only. So how would I edit it? I have Garage Band which I don't really like using. I also have MPEG Streamclip.
I just want to record and save my three year olds voice.

Will I be happy with the new version of iMovie after using 6 for so long?
Not everybody (including me) has been! iMovie 9 is basically for making YouTube videos. But you will like iDVD 9, which will come pre-installed with iLife 9.
But you can retain iMovie 6.0.3 and have both.
Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
Delete iMovie 9 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife install disks.
Now re-install iMovie 9. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.
Alternatively you could try this method, suggested by poster Uitech:
Open terminal and type "touch /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iLife08.plist"
(No quotes)
Install iMovieHD6 from the iLife 6 install disk.
This is said to work with both Leopard and Snow Leopard Macs.

Zen Vision: M Voice recorder feature for school quest

Hello guys. I am very close to purchasing a Zen Vision: M 30GB MP3 Player.
My main concern is with the Voice Recording function since i wish to record
school lectures.
Will anyone who owns one of these or has direct information, please discuss this with me?
] How clear are the recordings? I'm planning to record 2-3 hour lectures at a time
2] I've been hearing there is a faint noise due to the hard-disk of the unit, does it present an issue?
3] How is the battery life, in terms of recording?
Any additional information you have dealing with recording, will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
~Dimitriy

Go to "Music Library" then select "Artists" and to your desired artist.

How can you create a voice recording and save it as an mp3?

I want to create a voice recording and save it as an mp3. How can I do that on the MAC? Right now I can only think of recording the voice in iMovie, but it does not have a choice to save as an mp3.

Rather that iMovie, you may want to check our Audacity.
It's a free, open-source audio editor and recorder.
You can easily save a recording as an MP3.

Ic Mp3 Voice Recorder - silver not black

Hi, I have an Ic Mp3 Voice Recorder (I can't read the sub-model as it’s too faded) though it is a silver Ic recorder. It worked great till last week. Now when I download any recordings they show up as normal (ex: one shows as 177, 661KB and one shows 14,191KB). They are both clearly there, but when I play them back I hear no sound. Is there any way I could have accidently “muted” the device???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello WGB,
Without knowing the model number of your recorder its very difficult to know what might be going on. There should be a reset button the on device that should move all your settings back to default. This would ensure any setting that may have changed to cause this would be reverted back to normal.

How do i convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12?

I need to convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12.

Today, I emailed myself an .m4a voice recording from an Android smartphone that had created that sound file minutes earlier.
After opening that email message, I saved the .m4a sound file (a whopping 352 KB) to my Mac (iMac 21.5 inch running Yosemite).
Clicking on the sound file's icon launched iTunes (version 12.0.1.26), which then did nothing no matter what I tried.
However, when I selected the file on the desktop and navigated to the Finder/File/Open With dropdown window, a dialog box opened with alternative applications to use for opening the sound file. The available applications shown were VLC, QuickTime Player, Flip Player, and RealPlayer. I was pleased to find that VLC, QuickTime, Flip Player, and RealPlayer each opened and played the file straightforwardly and flawlessly.
Apparently, Flip Player Pro (which I do not own) has a "save as" feature that might help you convert the file to the format you desire.

Using Muvo TX FM for voice record

Hi all, am looking forward to learning all about how to use my mp3 player via this forum--and hope to contribute as well (at least once I get the hang of things! :smileyvery-happy: )
I purchased the Muvo TX FM player and was wondering if anyone has used the voice recorder feature to do things like record class lectures, meetings, whatever, and what your experience has been with it.
I attend a lot of meetings as part of my job and think it might be helpful in recalling quotes and such--but I don't know how well it works in terms of range, etc. Sound quality doesn't have to be great just good enough for me to hear what is being said.
Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Well, I did not record much until now, but here are some short thoughts:
It is best to lay the player e.g. on the table and do not move it around while recording, because touching the player and moving it will result in additional noise that will be recorded. Wind could also make the results worse.
And the range is depending on background noise level. I'd say a few meters, if it is quiet.
Since creative did some improvements to this feature, I suggest you use the newest firmware .3.03, it records on a higher volume level than the former one and creative reports that background noise is lower now.
Try it and out and see if the voice-recording is useful for you.

N900 - gps usage, voice recording, maps3.0?

I was disappointed, when facing these missing features in N900: Does anybody know:
- Is there a chance to use maps on N900 without an internet connection being on-line (...N95 worked in single GPS mode - without internet...)
- When will Maps 3.0 be available for N900?
- Is there a chance to create voice recording only? (...N95 knew this, I would be surprised if N900 would not...)
- Is there a chance to use voice-driven calling? (I mean just telling the name whoom to call - not typing and searching ... N95 knew this ...)

I have the same difficulty. When the E72 is connected to my car radio via bluetooth, I can only hear voice directions when the car radio is set to the "Telephone" input. This unfortunately means the radio is unable to play any other source (radio, CD, mp3, etc.). In order to hear the voice directions from the E72, I must turn off bluetooth which disables hands free functionality.
I hope Nokia will add the option to direct the voice directions to play from the phone's speakers when connected via bluetooth to a future version of the Maps software.
I do thank Nokia for an otherwise excellent piece of software and for the inclusion of free navigation.

Does Blackberry have Free Instant Voice Recording and Transcription?

what i really would like is a portable device that can both record conversations and instantly transcribe them into a format that can be quickly and easily edited (the instant transcription doesn't have to be accurate) .. if the transcription can be edited by deleting or inserting more transcribed audio and if the editor permits audio playback of the transcribed file cued from places in the transcription, that would be a plus.
it would be ideal if these features can exist in a phone with a small, physical keyboard, gps. a camera, wifi, mass data storage capability and expandable memory. i almost purchased the Torch 9810 sight unseen until i realized that what i really wanted was a voice recorder + transcriber (i already have other devices for gps, photos and internet so if these features come with, that's a bonus).
does anyone know of any device/app like this on the market (i'm a complete noob when it comes to smartphones)?

Rather that iMovie, you may want to check our Audacity.

Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

Wanted: Sample source code for voice recorder

I've been google searching for some sample source code to implement a voice recorder on my AudioVox 5600. I would like to learn how to read from the microphone and write to my SD card in a standard file format like wav, wma or mp3.
Can anyone help me understand how to do this?
Thanks,
Siegfried

Basic would be ;
RESULT_FIELDS -xxx = <SOURCE_FIELDS> -xxx
you have the source fields as source, and result fields for as the target. In between you can check some conditions as in other routines of transformation.
BEGIN OF tys_SC_1, shows your source fields ( in your case DSO chars and key figures)
BEGIN OF tys_TG_1, , shows your result fields ( in your case Cube characteristics)
Hope this helps

How can I convert and/or import .3ga Android phone Voice Recorder files to iTunes playable format?

My new Android smart phone (Samsung Galaxy S Blaze) has a pre-installed "Voice Recorder" which creates .3ga files of whatever I record with that app. But I can't find anyway to play or utilize them on my PC. I'm new to iTunes (for Windows Vista), and I'm hoping it can play these files somehow but when I drag them to the iTunes window the red circle with a line through it shows up and the file doesn't get transferred. I've also tried importing via iTunes File > Add file to library > click on file on my PC, but then after a second the "Add to Library" window disappears and the Voice file is nowhere to be found in iTunes. Any ideas are welcome. I'm pretty low tech....
Thanks!

Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

Microphoto 8gig extracting voice record fi

Hi, i'm having some trouble extracting my voice recorded files from the zen to my computer.
Every other file such as .mp3 and photo files work fine but i just can't find any way to do this. Is it because the voice recorded files are wma's? I'm using the lastest firmware .3.0 on windows xp. The software i'm using is the microphoto media explorer.
Thanks

Has anyone out there figured out how to do this?
