MP3Recorderer

MP3Recorderer is a small application designed to help you take voice notes of everything that crosses your mind while working or relaxing at your computer.

Outdated, yet user-friendly interface   

The setup is simple and straightforward, especially since it consists of decompressing the archive. Upon launch, you are welcomed by a rugged and unpolished interface that displays the available features and functions. As you probably already hinted, you require having a microphone connected to your computer in order to make an audio note.
As far as the functionality is concerned, the program is as simple as it looks. To put it simply, you can start recording a memo as soon as you hit the corresponding button. The UI also comes with a panel where you can preview the recordings listed in a reverse chronological order.
Unfortunately, while you can preview the date and time of the recording, the utility does not allow you to save the files under the name you choose. Therefore, it can cause confusion and could make you waste a lot of time if you need to take dozens of notes at relatively short intervals of time.

Comes with an embedded player

You should know that the application allows you to play the recordings via the built-in MP3 player it incorporates. Therefore, you do not need to employ other third-party solutions to listen to your notes, unless you transfer them to another device, such as your mobile phone for instance.
As it is indicated by its name, the application can save and play only MP3 file formats. While it can be argued that the app should support more file formats, let us not forget that the format is more widely supported and it can guarantee faithful clarity levels. Speaking of audio clarity, you will be happy to learn that the tool allows you to select the bitrate compression rate for the files you are saving.

A handy utility for taking voice notes

All in all, if you fancy the idea of taking voice notes and it would be more convenient for your working style, then perhaps MP3Recorderer could be worth a try.
