BlackBerry Voice Recorder app?? (like to record lectures)

Hey guys

i am trying to find a way to keep less electronics in my purse. I have been looking at iPod voice recorders but none are compatible with the newer ones(i just got rid of my iphone but they arent compatible with that either.) The iPod ones plug into the bottom and turn your ipod into a voice recorder to record lectures and such. This is what i need a way to record my lectures, and be able to upload to my Mac, and put on my iPod to listen to.

Does anyone know if there is a worthwhile program out that can turn my BB into a voice recorder worthy enough for recording lectures in school?

Thanks in advance

the blackberry has a voice notes recorder and if u got a memory card for ya bb then should not be a prob to record besides that i dont think there is a app that does that.. but some of the good users here might know

Bump... Also wondering if using the standard BB app if there is a good mic that cud be plugged in to 3.5 jack to get better sound quality?
And, how to turn the default files into mp3's?
Thanks for the post and the replies!

Doesn't 4.5 have a voice recorder function? I thought I read that in the "4.5 Features" somewhere... So no need to buy an app just yet- unless you don't like the built in one.

if u dont wanna talk into the phone i think if u use the headset would be better but i dont think there is a standalone mic u can just get for that its a phone not a computer u know....

amr is what the blackberry "voice note recorder" will save it as and u can convert that to mp3 pretty easy How to convert AMR format mobile recordings to MP3
there is one site with good info google will proly give u others

and rgorman u would not need 4.5 for that cuz im on 4.3 with the 8130 and it has the "voice not recorder" so

Thx! I'm thinkin that any standalone mic will work to plug into the 3.5jack... Will test and let u know....

Thx for the link to the converter as well..

Does anybody know if u can change the recording settings so u can record in 44.1hz? Not needed just curious

not sure what the voice recorder does it as but once u convert it download goldwave or um i cant rem the other one both are free and just mess around with it there all i can think of that can be done

[belindaerrol@hotmail.com]

isn't there an app that will simply record it in mp3 (or another format that is compressed) so that you don't have to go thru the hassles of conversion? (Obviously if you're trying to send a voicenote to your other on the go, you don't want to have to convert in on your pc at home before being able to send it, otherwise you may as well just tell them when you got home, no?)

Also, are you saying if you record it onto you micro sd card, it will give you more than 60 sec recording capapbility?
Otherwise is there a way to compress wav to make it smaller?
