Add MP3 format to voice recorder

[SHONG]

Currently, the only file format the voice recorder records in is m4a, and the problem with that, is that some programs I use doesn't read m4a, and I have to convert the file to mp3 for it to work. My suggestion is to add an option to make the recording a mp3 file, so it will be much easier to use with some programs (the program I am using is Sony Vegas Pro 14).

Mp3 requires special licensing I believe and possibly Samsung didn't want to go that route. Would be nice to implement that however.

You can use a 3rd party voice recorder to record in mp3, wmv etc. codec that is required for you. And yes it would be nice if the default voice recorder supports different codec as well.

HI-Q works well for me, recording straight to mp3. Worth paying for in my opinion.

Thanks, I just bought it, and it's working really well.

even if mp3 is a licensed format and Samsung doesn't want to pay, which for them as a big company is easy, m4a is not recongnised by many apps. A more generic format like Mp3 or wma formats would be better.

?? .wma is Microsoft proprietary format.

Way better to add .wav .ogg .frac as formats together with .m4a.

All three above are opensource widely used and supported and for most if not all uses are licence free, or like free.
