Here is a trick I've recently learned.  If you start your recording with
the Microsoft sound recorder and click anywhere on the slider (located
above the play, record, etc. buttons), you can extend the length- I
think indefinitely- of your recording.  There is also a way to convert
the .wav file to MP3.  Once you have recorded your file, select "save
as".  Under the file name input box is a "change " button.  When you
click on it, it lets you select what format you'd like to save in,
including MP3.

We are also happy with Pure Voice from Qualcomm, which is a free
download from

On campus we use Cool Edit, which was recently discontinued.

Hope this is helpful,

Can anyone recommend a reliable, inexpensive, even free program for
recording MP3 files of student speaking exercises?  Sound Recorder is
nice
in its limited way, but it only accepts a maximum of 60 seconds.

Thanks, all.
