The Audio Recorder
The Audio Recorder enables you to record, compress, store, and play back voice,
music, and other sound. It provides settings for sound attributes such as mono/ste-
reo, compression level, and sampling rate. You can use it to embed sound objects in
documents created in applications that support object linking and embedding (OLE).
The Audio Recorder’s edit, record, and playback capabilities are compatible with
the Windows Sound Recorder and other recorders that record and play back in the
PCM format. Like the Digital Audio Player, the Audio Recorder can record and play
back .WAV and .AUD files. The Audio Recorder allows a choice of compression
from low, medium, and high ESPCM and ADPCM.

To the right of the text boxes is a box displaying the icon associated with the particu-
lar file. If a file has no icon associated with it, it is given a default icon.
