Re: Will a normal USB microphone work?

That looks like a good recommendation from Koz. It's absolutely true that you can do a lot with inexpensive equipment - heck, I started out with a carbon microphone and a "portable" reel to reel tape recorder - but often we get questions like: "I'm using a $10 headset mic with the on-...

As mentioned before, the fastest that I've come across is the Xing encoder. It used to be available as a stand alone en...

Re: Metadata What is it?

Standard WAV files do not support Metadata. Some CD's have something called "CD text" which allows track information to be included on the CD, though this is not strictly standard. Also, some software CD players are able to obtain CD track information automatically over the internet for ma...
