I am a new user and have done a test Skype with a friend that has recorded but I can’t seem to save the file as an MP3.
I am using Windows Vista Basic 2007, which works beautifully and I think I installed the .exe installer.
I’m leaving the house in 20 mins but if anyone has 10 minutes today to speak on the fone or Skype to help me just save a file, I’d be ever so chuffed!
Many thanks for your reply. Now I can see why I couldn’t convert to MP3 either! Have saved your reply for another time.
Unfortunately, I had a business Skype yesterday that for some reason did not record… Is there any way it can have recorded and just not be showing as such? I’ve saved it as project just in case.
I think there are more but I can’t find the listing.
One of the reasons Skype is so successful is that it viciously takes over the internal sound pathways in the computer while it’s working. Doesn’t matter what Audacity and Windows wants. We’re designing a conference recording system at work and it took considerable effort to get it all straight. There’s never any question that Skype is going to work, is there? That’s the power of their reputation.
There is one YouTube video of someone who claimed to be able to get Audacity to work by itself. You might search for that. We think his process is a one-off, but it may work for you.
