Summary
This program is totally simple to use... if you don't want to record music. NEVER use this program for music... the high end distortion is the worst I have ever heard.
Silent Bob is just that -- SILENT!!!!!!

Summary
Simple, no extra features, but works very well, easy to set up. Don't use your pc for anything else while recording (records everthing that goes through soundcard - even browser clicks, etc.). For some reason, if I uninstall it, I can't install again from the same setup file - need to download all over - has happened 3 times. But, I like the program, so I do it.
Don't buy the pro version-no support

Summary
2 cordial emails requesting help with the timer recording function were ignored. Guess timed recording doesn't work. Drops pieces of recording if PC is busy (not enough buffering?). Auto-levels function recorded way too high, much clipping. I feel ripped off.
Lan Ciao Software!!!!

Works well if you can keep the soundcard volume low enough to get rid of the pops, clicks and other unwanted noises.
Totally decent, easy to use, FREE recorder.

Summary
Recorded just fine and playback sounds just fine, and it's really easy to use; open, record, stop, close, go to folder and open/play file using whatever player you've got. Note: look over those options/settings when you open and/or install it, that's where you'll see where the .wav files go, etc. Best thing is the seemingly unlimited record time. Thanks to whomever made this, you rock!!!
It worked for me

Summary
My friend recommened this app to me, which I found to work very well. No messing with volume levels, means recording sound from the line-in is very straight forward, and did the job I needed. Although when I upgraded to my AMD 2000+, with a Gigabyte motherboard, I found it now crashes when my record player stops playing. So I have to look for some other tool.

Developer’s Description

By Trippler und Schimanski

Record songs as WAV files.

Silent-Bob is your personnel audio recording tool. It is wiretapping the recording-channel of your soundcard and on mouseclick it records your favourite song into a wav-file. Since Silent-Bob is latching the last couple of minutes in the RAM you will never ever miss the beginning of your favourite song. A systray-icon is displaying the current state of Silent-Bob. By clicking it with the right mouse button you will open the context menu providing you with the most important functions even without having to displaying the whole programme on the desktop. As Silent-Bob uses skins it is now possible to adopt the design according to anyone's preferences. Update-information of Silent-Bob is just a mouse click away.
