Default MP3 Voice Recorder for PocketPC 2002

http://www.geocities.com/zavorine/wince/mp3.htm

What a superb concept for an app! I wasn't sure if the Pocket PC had enough CPU power to do real-time MP3 encoding, but it looks like I was wrong. Very impressive programming feat - I'm surprised someone didn't do it sooner. Perfect for those long recording sessions!



"Voice Notes Recorder with MP3 encoding (NoteM) was implemented as an alternative to build-in Notes application�s voice recording feature. It gives you approximately 5.5 compression rate as compared to Notes default recording mode (8-bit 11.025kHz mono PCM), with the same (or even better) perceptual quality (you can even record music). The user interface also was implemented as similar as possible to Notes GUI. NoteM supports currently only MPEG1, 2 (2.5) Audio Layer 3 (.MP3) and WAVE PCM (.WAV) audio formats."

I should warn you that his web site is hosted on Geocities, and once today it was already out of bandwidth, so there's a good chance that after a few of you go you'll have to wait until later to try to get the app.

Brilliant! What is the bitrate it records at?

I imagine if it is mono at 64kb/s (no need for stereo and higher bit rate as the built-in microphone can't take advantage of it) it could get excellent compression rate!

Sounds cool. The quality on the voice recorder default settings are simply bad, so this could be a good application.

Well. I just visited your site, but do not see any information about this program on your home page. Bummer :cry:

de active sync version is not working with mine....de cab file installed it perfectly to my ppc with about 680 kb. However it would have been nice to run this from my cf card.
