    What is HarddiskOgg?

    On-the-fly-line-in-to-Ogg Vorbis/Wave/Monkeys Audio/MP3-encoding. HarddiskOgg takes a wave input stream from any Windows 95/98/2000/XP compatible sampling device (including microphone input and line in) and converts it to an Ogg Vorbis/Wave/Monkeys Audio/MP3 (optional) stream. This happens in realtime, so basically it is a harddisk recorder in Ogg Vorbis.

    Features:

    * Real-time encoding with bitrates from 32kbit/sec. up to 320kbit/sec.
    * Stereo or mono recording from 8kHz to 48kHz
    * Automatic numbering of output files
    * Can be placed in the systray and activated by a single click
    * Smart on-the-fly normalization for low-volume sources
    * Uses the high quality, patent free Ogg Vorbis encoding engine. Ogg Vorbis easily outperforms MP3 in sound quality, especially at lower bit rates.
    * LAME MP3 encoder compatible. However, due to patent issues HarddiskOgg ist not distributed with the LAME encoding DLL. If you want MP3 support, fetch LAME_ENC.DLL from the web, but make sure you have the appropriate rights for doing so.
    * Command line mode for easy integration or scheduled recordings
    * No fuss or stupid skinned interface, just works.
    * HarddiskOgg is FREEWARE!

    I haven't tried it because it won't do what I want (record streams from sound card out put instead of input). However, the documentation is rudimentary and out of date:

    1. The link to download the LAME DLL procided on the HarddiskOgg website and in the manual is broken. LAME has moved to SourceForge (https://lame.sourceforge.io/)
    2. If lame_enc.dll is copied into HardiskOgg's directory as stipulated in the manual, HardiskOgg complains that it can't find it. Copying lame_enc.dll to the Windows directory instead appears to work.
