HarddiskOgg takes a wave input stream from any Windows 95/98/2000/XP compatible sampling device (including microphone input and line in) and converts it to an Ogg Vorbis/Wave/Monkey¡äs Audio/MP3 (optional) stream. This happens in realtime, so basically it is a harddisk recorder in Ogg Vorbis.

Features:

• Real-time encoding with bitrates from 32kbit/sec. up to 320kbit/sec.
• Stereo or mono recording from 8kHz to 48kHz
• Automatic numbering of output files
• Can be placed in the systray and activated by a single click
• Smart on-the-fly normalization for low-volume sources
• Uses the high quality, patent free Ogg Vorbis encoding engine. Ogg Vorbis easily outperforms MP3 in sound quality, especially at lower bit rates.
• LAME MP3 encoder compatible. However, due to patent issues HarddiskOgg ist not distributed with the LAME encoding DLL. If you want MP3 support, fetch LAME_ENC.DLL from the web, but make sure you have the appropriate rights for doing so.
• Command line mode for easy integration or scheduled recordings
• No fuss or stupid skinned interface, just works.
• HarddiskOgg is FREEWARE!
