Q: QuestionI have sporadic, unexplained noises in my new house. I need to record for perhaps 8 continuous hours (so lots of silence) to catch them, preferably with a time stamp. Would this do the trick?

Asked 5 years ago by HesMyTaxGuy.

• A:Answer With a 32GB SD card in the Zoom H1N, I get about 60 hours of high-quality WAV recording. At medium-quality MP3, the H1N shows 999 hours, and I suspect that is because the display can only show that much, not because the card can only hold that much. The H1N can be configured to name files with a date and time, which allows you to know when the recording is started. Although there is not a time stamp within the file, you could calculate absolute date / time from the offset into the file along with the file name. I believe the H1N will meet the requirements you give above. Should you need more, however, don't forget that the Ghostbusters are ready to believe you.

• A:Answer The Zoom H1n will not do what you are asking it to do. To be honest, I cannot think of anything that does that you can buy reasonably inexpensively.

Q: QuestionI have a quantity of CD's that I would like to record to a device that I can use in my car to playback. What do I need to know? I was told I need an MP3 ?

Asked 5 years ago by Alan.

• A:Answer Just weighing in here. Both answers are correct. Rip the CD's on your PC. and then transfer the recordings to your phone, pen drive, or SD card. I know Windows can do this without a problem, so Macs can probably as well. If you don't have an optical player on your PC (fewer and fewer people are requesting them, although they are still readily available), and external player is easily available, probably under $30. I have a couple (with burning capability as well, just in case), one for home and one portable, both for occasional use, but I bought them awhile ago, so haven't keep up with prices.
