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 However, the documentation is rudimentary and out of date:

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/)
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.
