Why didn't you read Ashraf's review?

Main Bug pointed out by Ashraf using Windows7 as OS: no ability to record audio from speakers/sound card.

Other drawbacks: no HELP DOCUMENTATION and no ability to record in different audio formats other than Mp3 (in WAV, OGG, WMA format, for instance).

Enough for me to give it a THUMBS DOWN!!!

Uhmmm,

1) No free technical support
2) No free upgrades to future versions
3) Strictly personal usage.

While going to the ditributor´s site I see:
- Considering that, this prog. becomes identical to their free version

Now the logical conclusion means:
- This is NOT a giveaway of an otherwise sold product - it´s just the always free version
- What you get for free is the GOTD-Wrapper... (lol)

Btw: Masses of such tools are available for free - not only from Ainishare

What Ashraf said:
The real test of an audio recording program is if it successfully records audio from your sound card/speakers. Unfortunately for Ainishare Audio Recorder, it fails that test.

You are more than welcome to give Ainishare Audio Recorder a try yourself, but I don’t recommend it.

What Ashraf said is TRUE.
On 21 January 2013, I got this software from another giveaway site - installed, activated and tried it. Experienced what Ashraf said above.
So fed up that I un-installed it immediately.

How do I remember this 8 months later?
Because I added in the file name of the downloaded setup file for that Ainishare Audio Recorder these remarks [FAIL - USELESS]. So that in future when I see this being offered again, I would be reminded and forewarned.

And this is what happened today. So SKIP.
