#4, #6, #11 ALF, The non-cancelable automatic update check session is included below (hopefully) as can be seen the domain used is hdaudiorecorder.com so we can drop that into our hosts file to block all requests for that domain name. It won’t block requests for http://www.hdaudiorecorder.com so one can still look at the website itself.
It will also block the online help pages but you can get them back by adding www. to the front of the domain name in the address bar.

The full update check URL is: http://hdaudiorecorder.com/Updates.aspx?id=4804

The session log follows:

Mike (#30) already mentioned Wavosaur – they also make Streamosaur http://www.wavosaur.com/streamosaur/ a very basic (and limited) stream recorder that can save to wav or mp3 (providing you already have the lame dll in you system folder or download it and put it in the same folder as Streamosaur). Both Wavosaur and Streamrecorder are tiny applications (portable too). I totally forgot about Wavosaur earlier when I was getting stupid with downloading and testing inferior recorders! Wavosaur is very powerful if you check out all the plugins available for it.

Oh, and Mike – Happy Holidays and thanks for your comments over the years.

Regards, Damian

This program is limited in its functionality and there are free alternatives to this, such as Audacity. Audacity offers more file formats to save to, more editing options, and more recording options. What I don’t like about HD Audio Recorder is that it forces you to use a certain mp3 bitrate and doesn’t even offer to save to a different file format (m4a, ogg…)

#21 re running activate as Admin in vista and above uncertainty for this offering… This offerings Activate.exe writes to both HKCU/software and HKLM/software hives so does need to be activated as an administrator.

But the main program once installed does NOT need to be run as an Administrator

@Fubar, #35:
It’s all right. I let myself go, not a wise thing to do, but like you got irritated, it happened to me too. After submitting and taking a breath I found myself amazed by my premature reaction. I guess it’s just a human thing that can happen to all of us.
I always valued your comments and I’m glad to be back on earth.

It is X-mas-eve here in Europe, I wish you all a merry X-mas and Fubar do stay coming back.
Familytime now, have a good one….

A typical monitor is now much larger than ever before and some of us run at 120 dpi. On some programs, such as this one, this causes information in windows to be malformatted and for controls to be off-screen. The developer who doesn’t bother to test with higher screen resolutions should as a matter of rule, include scrollbars. This is an example of careless programming.
