-      This program allows you to record your favourite music or audio to a file.
-      It can record audio from your system soundcard, microphones, browsers and
-      webcams. Put simply; if it plays out of your loudspeakers you can record it.
-      This program has a timer that can start, stop or pause recording on certain
-      conditions such as audio level, file size and clock time. This recorder can
-      automatically record your Skype calls. It supports several audio (output)
-      formats such as OGG audio, Flac, MP3 and WAV.
