Windows (2000): piping sound to a file?

Oct 07, 2004 22:59

My google-fu is not good enough, it appears. Or rather, my vocabulary for this problem space isn't good enough to generate useful search terms.

Suppose I have some random application that generates sound -- that is, signal to my speakers -- but does not directly support any "save as" options for capturing that sound to disk. Is there any way, either built into Windows or done via freeware/cheapware, to capture that audio and write it to disk in some broadly-understood audio format, so that someone else can get the sound without running the original application?

Trope Trainer has a "play this torah portion" function, and one of my readers has asked for a recording of his portion. I'm looking for improvements on "hold a tape recorder up to the speaker", especially as I don't own a standard tape recorder. (I have one that uses micro-cassettes, but since the other person doesn't, that doesn't help.)

I'd welcome any hints y'all feel inclined to throw my way. Thanks.
