I can't register this product. When trying to register, it say's "Access server exceptionError #2032". Can anybody help me with this?

Doesn't give info on bitrate. but when i checked, using windows, it seemed to be 116 or 114 for the songs i recorded. would have liked a little higher - at least 128, which is normal. Also, it played backmy internal computer dings - nowhere can I find a place to disable other sounds comng in. Finally, the playback button doesn't move, which shows you how many seconds you are into the song. Please can you tell me how to do these? I really don't want to record at anything under 128.

Nice program, but I have three issues with it:
(1) The audio quality is noticeably lower than the source files
(2) Songs are not recorded when I am playing songs via my USB headset
(3) Absolutely no data about the recorded songs is retrieved.

Henrik said, "That should not happen. We haven't received the similar issue reported by other users.".
as for my case, it is happen.
in 'About' says Version 1.0.2 not 2.0.1 as shown in the GOTD Giveaway.
but go to 'setting/check for updates', it says "u are using the latest version 2.0.1".
sorry, it is my 1st down in my life of using GOTD.

it would have been nice to try this programme, but all i get after downloading and unzipping it corrupt file, please download again, i think after 8 attempts at it and getting the same message every time is enough for me, never had a corrupt file from GAOTD before, shame looks like a good programme.

Oops -- I played Windows Media Player to identify previously saved tracks WHILE I was downloading the next tracks from Pandora and recording with Chinch ...

... and of course Chinch recorded BOTH the incoming Pandora stream AND my Windows Media Player library on top of each other for a 29 minute mish-mash - trash.

So, no, no multi-tasking on ONE computer.

I suppose I can network another computer to see the Music directory on this computer and identify the songs as they land, without playing them through the came computer where Cinch is recording Pandora.

It would be nice, though, to record only the incoming stream, not the existing library playback via the other player, Windows Media Player.
.

Thanks Henrik en GOTD! Nice program!

What I like to see in a future version:

- Possibility to record higher quality (by settings)
- Option to see or log the url from the (streamed) recordings

Like another user that installed on an XP SP3 OS, attempting to start the program, I get a dialog displaying:
"LCMapStringEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll".

After clicking OK, the taskbar has an entry title Cinch Audio Recorder, but the window is solid white. I can close it by right-clicking the taskbar item, and then selecting Close or using Alt-F4.


Running in Compatibility Mode:
Win 95 No error dialog, but have white window only
Win 98 Win Me No error dialog, but have white window only
NT 4.0 Has error dialog and white window only
NT 2000 Has error dialog and white window only


The program works fine in recording and separating the tracks. But I too do not receive the ID3 information. The tracks are labelled Tracks1, Track2 etc. I tried the program on two machines both running Windows 10.

From the info on http://cinchsolution.com/ ID3 information should be retrieved in the licensed version. It is unclear from the other comments whether there is a bug or whether this giveawayoftheday is demo software.

I DL'd it and it was missing a DLL. After several attempts I gave up

.
Microsoft Media Player did not recognize the tracks, I had to highlight them in Windows Explorer and hit [ Enter ] to get them to play, then they came up in Windows Media Player, but of course, with no identification ...

... then OMG, Microsoft is identifying them, and bring in the album covers!

Okay, I'm sold.

This will allow me to time-shift and sample Pandora with song identification when I'm off-line.

Thanks, Henrik.

Good job, even if you depend on Microsoft a little bit too much.

Interesting, shows promise, but ...

... first computer had all sorts of errors and never got more than half a minute of whatever, buffer too small error, memory error, unable to help identify the problem : poor internet reliability, wandering between 2 to 30 at fast.com, I was torrenting in the background.

Second computer rated a consistent 88 at fast.com, and, doing nothing but Pandora and this software, this software did download 18 songs in 65 minutes before Pandora timed out, but this software could not identify any of the songs, and crapped out with an insufficient buffer message.

"Get ID3 failed" on all, so, how do you get the songs identified?

If I knew this software wasn't going to identify the songs, I'd have printed the screens as Pandora told me all about the artist and lyrics.

So, I recommend they keep working on this to ( a ) test the environment and not crash, but help us troubleshoot, and ( b ) really identify songs.

Audials will patch together song parts to get rid of voice-overs and cut-offs AND listen to all radio stations itself.

That's the competition.

Oh, and torrenting peer-to-peer via proxy to my own server in Finland.

;-)

Isn't it supposed to download the ID3 tag and automatically add it to the MP3s it records?

So, all songs that have been recorded off of Pandora are labelled as Track1, Track2, etc--and NO ID3 info added at all. When I float my mouse to the right of the time for each track, I get a tooltip banner that says "Cinch Audio Recorder".

How can I get this to auto download the ID3 info and automatically put that in the MP3 info?

After app start , I see mesage: "Error in procedure LCMapStringEx in KERNEL32.dll ", and white program window. Instaled on XP SP3 32 bits.

"Record high quality music ..." Really?

OK, the music might be high quality but the recording won't be. MP3 is definitely not, Not, NOT high quality.

Probably this software is OK for recording lectures and other voice material.

Very impressed by this simple program, which has almost no options (the main one being where you want to save your recordings). Up until now I've used Audacity to record sound playing through my laptop's speakers, but his program installed without problem in less than five minutes, and does a very nice job of detecting silence and automatically splitting tracks and saving them in mp3 format.

The program installed flawlessly on my windows10. I tried it out recording a streaming music station, and so far, it cut the songs where it should, and separated the recordings for me, which I appreciate instead of ending up with a two hour long mash of several audio, it separated them into proper and usable sections for me. I found the program very easy to use, and it did a great job recording. The price point for a program like this is about right. I would definitely recommend this program.

So what you record has to be already playing. Hm.
And whats with the bar graph thing top centre! Its of no value as its not showing frequency/amplitude but a random pattern. Is this a toy?

What does CINCH do that Audacity doesn't do....

Nice, simple, straight forward audio stream recorder.
(Clean on virustotal.com (nice), didn't mess with my browsers (nice))

Having used this: Wish list
1. Resizeable dialog GUI would be a nice feature to have

2. By default the music files are added into files off the root of C
These files should be placed into the directory chosen for the install.

3. In a perfect universe it would also include (dare I say), an internet radio with updatable stations.
I say this because I have given up looking for a nice easy to use RESIZEABLE GUI radio program that doesn't contain malware.

Thanks for a nice stream recorder !

Another I've had success with and it includes a scheduler is Aktiv MP3 Recorder.
A bit of a learning curve and on some may raise a false malware flag but works great for me.

Just to follow up.

First thing I did was play a youtube Vid and record it but made a mistake in my choice I feel- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=booKP974B0k
You will immediately note that you are able to do more when listening to the audio alone so thumbs up there. Lol>

Interface is clean - and BLAND with no option but for the 1980's Windows blue colour.

Plays well and is nice and simple. Whilst playing its possible to start a recording almost immediately except it checks with you first. An option would be nice to turn this feature off.
Same goes for playing whilst recording - Option please.

One final addition (For fun and for serious usage) would be to record WHILST playing back.

Karaoke is obvious but an audio message with music in the background could easily be created and that could be nice for Grandma. Just a thought.

Thanks Henrik. Nice simple offering and looking forward to v2.02.

Very similar interface to a streaming music recorder given away before Christmas but can't detect the ID3 tags or add covers like that software did (at least in the GAOTD version)
I get a 'buffer too small' warning every time I try to record. Stopping and restarting seems to fix this at the expense of missing the first few seconds of recording there is no obvious way to change the buffer size.
Worst of all, the MP3 are less than 128KBPS (110-116KBPS) which is very low quality these days.
Sorry but I've uninstalled. Audacity can do most of what this software promises at much higher quality

Zemana blocks the download and Avast prevents the install so BOTH of these programs need a temp disable (Right click) to enable this software to work.

Not tried this offering out yet but thought I would let peeps know how to install before I do.

It WOULD have been nice to not to have to or, because of the nature of this type of software, to have been warned beforehand.

Installed with no problems on Windows 10 64 bit system. Records music and separates tracks but is not able to pick up MP3 tag information

VLC does the same and 100 times more in other features.

I have recorded some songs from spotify and it works well but without the songs cover image

I can't get it to install. I downloaded it twice. I'm presented with a dialog box titled Giveaway of the day and the message is "Failed to launch the program. I also tried running as administrator when executing the program.

I was recording from iTunes. It only recorded 7 of the 12 tracks. It missed Tracks 4 and 5 as well as any after Track 9. It did not add ID3 tags nor change the name from Track.

It also in About says Version 1.2.2 not 2.0.1 as shown in the GOTD Giveaway.

I was ready to buy this if it worked but it doesn't seem to.

Thanks

Nice tool but there is a better free solution out there to record audio from ANY SOURCE, with the ability to save your audio files in several formats (MP3, AAC, WAV, MP2, OGG, M4A, WMA and etc..).

Can you schedule a recording for a specific time and date?

Installed on windows 10 and records but without any help file (having looked on the web page) I can't see any buttons that will
1. Muted sound while recording (recording when you are in the library)
2.Edit music file and save it as a ringtone
3.Advertisement removal
4.Also i'm confused about MaxBlankTime and gapTime options.
5.I have no idea if it is registered
None of these are in the settings or the about notes
I can only think the GAOTD offering is not the pro version?
If anyone finds a help page that resolves these issue please post it

Program downloaded & installed with no problems, but there's no indication that it has been registered.
How do I register?/Where do I look to check it HAS been registered?
(The "about" button just shows the name & version of the product.)
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Unable to install. After downloading, and unzipping the file it says software activated, however the software isn't installed. Could you please help

Only records system audio, what you hear, no microphone. Default output directory "C:/Cinch Solutions/Cinch Audio Recorder", it splits recording by silence by default, and i'm confused about MaxBlankTime and gapTime options.

Works like a charm! Now I don't have to listen to the same children's music CD over and over again in my car. Thanks!
