For those who are not familiar with dl-recorder: this is free software that simulates the basic functions of a language lab cassette recorder. The original version was able to read MP3 files, but could only save in wav format. This release reads and saves in MP3 format by default. Blank recordings are also saved into MP3 format. (The Mac version has no progress bar on the Save process yet - instead it changes color until finished with the Save Process. ) The new beta versions of dl-recorder are available for Windows-based computers at http://schiller.dartmouth.edu/dl-recorder/dlmp3.zip for Mac OS-X based computers at http://schiller.dartmouth.edu/dl-recorder/dlxmp3.zip We apologize for the delay. These versions can be used in all non-commercial environments. We appreciate feedback to [log in to unmask] More information will be made available soon at http://schiller/dl-recorder.
