Since most music that you'll playback on your PC is in Mp3 format, then it's useful to have a tool which can save them.

Easy MP3 Recorder records not Mp3 files but also WAV audio too. This makes it an excellent option for those that want to record online radio, CD's and music played on major audio players such as Windows Media Player, Winamp and iTunes. The first thing you'll notice is that it's a very stripped down interface which requires no real instructions. Simple browse to the feed for file that you want to capture and Easy Mp3 Recorder captures and converts the audio on the fly. This means that there's no annoying conversion pauses or external application needed to convert audio in WAV format to Mp3.

There's not much more on offer however except an ID3 tag editor (so you can label your tracks) and a basic audio editor to edit recorded files. The only other options you can change are the bitrate that the file is recorded from and a timer which puts a limit on the amount of time you want a particular recording to be recorded for.

Lightweight and easy to use, this not the most advanced audio recorder you'll ever use but it does a solid job of recording Mp3's with minimum fuss.
