Record Smart

This is a standard, run-of-the-mill sound recorder that unfortunately has more limitations than it does features. While it automatically sets recording levels, that's about the only intelligence it shows during the recording process. The interface is slick but somehow incomplete, mixing 3D texture with clunky gray buttons. There's no way to schedule a recording time, so it's of no use for recording Internet radio programs. It also can't restart automatically, which makes it useless for recording a conversation. What's more, it has no capability to convert sound files to the ubiquitous MP3 format. Overall, you're going to find about the same functionality that comes free with a system, as in the Windows Sound Recorder.
