Those settings are correct - no obvious reason why you are not getting audio. What softphone are you using to call out through skype?

Hi there,

An m3u file is a playlist - simply a set of links to tracks. SoundTap is not capable of producing m3u files - it can only record to wave and mp3.

Also, you would probably benefit by upgrading to version 1.23 of SoundTap. The upgrad is free if you purchased SoundTap in the last 3 months.

Check your skype settings. Your audio in and audio out device should both be set to Uplink.

anyone from NCH able to comment?

I'm looking into this and other issues for the next release.

BW

What messages are you getting in the SoundTap message window?

Do you get any messages in the SoundTap window?

Hi Jim,

There are a couple of things that may have gone wrong. If you were recording to mp3 then you may be missing the mp3 codec. You can download it for free from http://www.nch.com.au/components - you need the one titled Mp3El.

Also make sure you have write permissions on the directory to which you are trying to record.

OK guys what did I do wrong?????????  I've always considered myself "reasonably" smart (which I realize is a relative term!!!) but this blows me away!

I purchased SoundTap 1.1 tonight.  I even read the instructions.  I also set up a download folder on my desktop called Radio downloads (original title there!).  I found the pgm I wanted to d/l (a bbc4 show called McLevy).  I hit the "start recording" button and it said that it was recording.  After 45 mins the show was thru and I hit the "stop recording" button.  I looked forward to hearing the show again and then burning it to a cd.  Guess what? Nowhere was the show to be found.  There was no show ... zilch, nada, niente.  So what did I do wrong? Other that trying to record a bbc4 murder mystery?

ANY help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Jim

Phillip, CollinB(and all others with this problem),

Please download and install the mp3 encoder - MP3El - from http://www.nch.com.au/components/

This should fix your problem.

I've just got the registered version  of soundtap 1.1 , and I can record in .wav format , but if I choose mp3, the application appears to be recording but doesn't create a file ?  Any ideas , or does it not work in this version ?

 

thanks

SoundTap does correctly record mp3 files. Have you tried doing a search for the file on your harddrive after recording has finished? Have you changed the recording directory from the default?

If you record a lot of internet radio then you may want to consider SoundTap which records the stream digitally for a perfect reproduction and no quality loss.

Cheers, Ben
