This is a very expensive piece of software called `Sound Recorder.' Look under your start menu -> programs -> accessories -> entertainment -> sound recorder; you're set to go. :smile:

This will record any audio input into a .wav format. If you need any other compression, such as MP3 or OGG, there's plenty of file conversion programs out there.

Hehe :) Sound Recorder will do just fine unless you are a recording artist or something :-p

To add some flexibility but stay free, check out a piece of software called, Audacity. May be overkill for what you need, but check it out either way, it's free after all.
