I don't think dBpoweramp is free anymore. Last time I tried to use it, I was prompted to purchase codecs or something.-confused
codecs? thats the only thing you gotta get... dbpoweramp is still free if all you have to get are codecs... you can get those for free too...
Recommend me a free soundcard recorder? I used to have SoundScape by MagicSoft which I use to record into mp3 files from anything that's blasting out of my soundcard for example the radio shows. Sound quality was quite poor but decent enough if you just want to record a radio show for 1 time listening. I've lost this little program due a pc crash a few weeks ago and can't find it anymore. So what other alternatives are out there?
