CNET Editors' review
This program boasts most features we like to see in a recording application, but its ungenerous trial restriction is a definite turnoff. Super MP3 Recorder Professional's interface is both elegant and easy to use; clicking the Options button lets you set recording levels from a number of sources, such as a CD player, a telephone, or a line-in jack. Also, though this app can only capture sound in the MP3 and WAV formats, the scheduling tool and the voice-activation feature more than make up for its limited codec support. It's also nice that the program provides a very simple waveform editor for dicing up large sections of audio and adding fades, though the demo won't let you save your fixes. However, the biggest problem with Super MP3 Recorder Professional is that the trial version will only record 40 seconds of audio, which seems a bit unreasonable to us. However, if you're planning on paying for a recording program, you can definitely do worse than this one.
Publisher's Description
From Admire Soft:
Super MP3 Recorder Professional makes a complete recording studio of your computer. With the recorder, you can record voice from microphone, Internet streaming audio, or music played by Winamp, Windows Media Player, QuickTime, RealPlayer, Flash, and games. Super MP3 Recorder Pro can automatically detect the recording formats your sound card supports, then set the application's parameters for the best possible performance. The recordings can be saved as MP3, WAV, WMA, VQF, and OGG files.
Super MP3 Recorder Pro can edit audio files as you desire by cutting, copying, pasting, and trimming, and with various DSP effects. Another useful feature is the recording schedule, which enables automatic recording. Super MP3 Recorder Pro 6.0 has a voice-activation system you can use to skip silent passages or to stop the recording after a certain amount of silence.

"Warning! Complete Rip-Off"
Version: Super MP3 Recorder Professional 6
Pros
Nice way to throw away thirty dollars.
Cons
I paid $29.95 via credit card 3 days ago (order number is U2671137401). I still have no keycode to use this program. I have sent multiple email to both SWREG who processed the card and to support@supermp3recorder.com. But no refund and no keycode. All I can do is made a 40 second recording. I have copies of my emails and screenshots of my complaints posted on SWREG's website.
Summary
Sound like fun? Go ahead and throw your money away.

"Cannot get the trial version to operate"
Version: Super MP3 Recorder Professional 6
Cons
I downloaded the trial version because I wanted the "schedule' feature of this software, however, I wanted to make sure I liked the software before I actually purchased it. On my first 40-second test recording (the max. time you are allowed for the trial software), the playback was so distorted that I could not understand even if it what I had recorded. The second time I tried the 40-second trial test, it seemed to record OK, but there was no way I could get it to play back. I then e-mailed the manufacturer for assistance. That was over a week ago and I have not had even the courtesy of a reply.

"It may work"
Version: Super MP3 Recorder Professional 6
Pros
It seems to work, but I'll never know for sure. (See Cons)
Cons
Trial is limited to 41 seconds at a time which does not allow enough time to know how well it really works. Help information and explanations of setting values is pretty much non-existent. I'm going to continue looking for another product.

"Best I've tried from tape to hard disk"
Version: Super MP3 Recorder Professional 6
Pros
MusicMatch is my main music machine and I love it; Roxio's Easy CD Creator has a great reputation and works well; but from cassette tape to hard disk, Super MP3 Recorder does the best job of making individual tracks without any cut-off or distortions. I had unresolvable problems with both MusicMatch and Easy CD Creator trying to record old cassette tapes to my hard disk. Super MP3 Recorder does the job perfectly after a little testing and tweaking the settings.

Trim files only--nothing fancy. Can't save files until you buy (grr).
