  1. No worries K., we all have lots of things to learn

    (well, maybe all of us except Aaron and Yeah)


    You have to get yourself:
    a) a recording device and/or a microphone. If your computer doesn't have an integrated microphone, you'll need one to record any external noise. There are cheap ones (from 2$ in the nearest supermarket or informatics store) and a wide range up to 50's and 100's $. If you only want to record sporadic readings or noises, get yourself one around the 8-15€, they perform very well and are easy to install and use. Oh, and make sure you have a line-in / microphone entry in your PC!! You can also (or on the other hand) use an external recorder and later transfer the audio file to the PC and then to your iPod.
    b) a digital-sound recording program. You'll need a program which is able to understand and register the digital noise which is coming through the line-in/mic plug. There are several ones that, being free, perform really well (and are useful for other tasks too, mainly audio editing). My personal favorite is Nero WaveEdit (included in every Nero version), a powerful audio editing tool that is also able to easily record audio from an external source. But many many people use Audacity, which is more a recording program with added audio-editor features. Those two are the most common I think, but there are around 9843579834 programs more, all of them have ups and downs.


    That's all
  2. You don't have an iPhone do you? There is an app on that called voice memo that will do it for you....
  3. Or if it's an iPod Touch you can likely download an app for it...
  4. PS Nice pics Ger

    I've got some snowy ones too that I might post if I get a chance..
  5. @ Sergio thanks for the detailed info, much appreciated I really have no idea about these things but what you said made sense even to me I checked, my tower doesn't have a microphone line-in, but the notebook does. So I'll get a hand on an average microfone and see that I get a free programme on the notebook for recording and all. Wish me luck

    @Dan I have an old Nokia mobile and I'm glad it works at all. No iphone or anything trendy over here
  6. Just picked up a vinyl on eBay from the UK. Vinyls play in any player, don't they?

    It was cheap (some Hendrix), so I grabbed it - only after realising the description said 7''!!!
  7. Yeah all vinyls are standard and can be played on the same players. Only thing is that you'll need to locate the 33>>45 rpm switch, since 7's play at 45 and not at the normal 33 rpm speed

    Ok, Kirsten! Good luck
    PS. I think that every 'modern' (post-2000 at least) computers (both towers and laptops) have line-in entry, are you sure that yours doesn't have it?
  8. If not, most webcams have a mic you can use in the programs mentioned by Sergio.
