Just downloaded to W7. Doesn't work per known bug (no connection to Skype). But I restart, and restart, etc. per workaround and can never get rid of the error message. Am I missing something?
What version of W7 are you using 32 or 64 bit? Could you copy-paste the error message please.
Recorder v 1.9.0.1. W7 32 bit. Error message says (this pops up in a separate little window): "Error connection to Skype ... No Skype detected or your Skype version doesn't have Skype Extras Manager and ..."
Thx.
Oops. Error says "Error connecting to Skype" not "Error connection to Skype".
That means that your Skype has no extras manager (could be business version) or firewall/antivirus software is blocking connection.
Thanks. I am using the latest Skype (4.1.0.179) and am not aware that it is a special business version. I use Microsoft's standard Security Essentials for anti-virus. Do you have any guidance?
Should be working then. Try to reinstall Skype.
OK. Reinstalled and included the Extras (probably didn't do that before). Stuff works. Noticed along the way that Skype says it's discontinuing support for Extras. Don't know how that afffects things in the future, but I'm delighted for now. Thanks--great product.
Well, this is little bit confusing. "Extras" are small programs embed into Skype and working through Skype client interface. MP3 Skype recorder is using public API interface of Skype and isn't "Extras". This API interface is provided by what they call Extras manager which they are not going to eliminate.
FYI:
In version 1.9.0.1 clicking on "About" links to the Older Version.
Thank you. Forgot to change the link. Will fix in next version.
Hi
Can you please add the option of recording mp3s in VBR mode?
Thanks
Corrupt MP3 using pre-1.9.0 version.
I've been happily using Skype Call Recorder for about a year now for dozens of phone interivews, and have never had a problem (and I"ve even contributed money here!)
Yesterday though the MP3 file of one of my skype intereviews was corrupt. The last 17 minutes (or 20) are just white noise compressed down into just about 20 seconds when I open it in audacity.
When I "Play" the MP3 in say Realplayer, the length of the clip seems to be about right, 20 minutes. and the screeching white noise doesn't play. it's just dead air after the good first 3 minutes.
I upgraded my SCR to the latest 1.9.0 after that call so I guess I must have been on the previous version, whatever that was.
any suggestions as to why this happened or if there is a miracle method of restoring the audio?

Hello
I've reported some problems with recordings in version 1.8.3 and 1.8.6 on some machines. This was fixed in the latest version 1.9.0.
I'm afraid there is no way to restore last minutes of your record as it was not actually recorded as I understand from your message. Sorry.
I get error 1001:
Could not load file or assembly 'srottbls.nlp' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. --> Failure has occured while loading a type.
Tried several times. Any ideas how to actually install this thing? I'd love to try it. I'd even donate if it worked...
It looks like your .NET Framework is corrupted. See this topic on microsoft website http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Vsexpressinstall/thread/c32e9822-edde-4407-804b-77ef77cefaf2
Could you give more details:
- Windows version?
- 32bit or 64bit?
- when does this error happens?
- is it srottbls.nlp not sorttbls.nlp?
I am using Windows 7. The Skype Recorder used to work, but now I see that I can not get it to work at all. I have the latest versions of the Recorder and Skype and I have followed all the manual's steps. However, It will not function now. I see others have reported this problem. I hope a new version will soon fix the problem.
Are you using 32bit or 64bit version? Does MP3 Skype recorder give you any error, warning or any other messages?
I am using Win7 32 bit. I get no error messages or warnings. It just does not open up or do anything when I click on the program to start it. Nor does it open when I have a Skype call.
Does the program icon appear in your system tray?
Hi - I currently have ver 1.9.0.1 installed. The program has worked previously but yesterday I received a message that it couldn't save files to the destinationa directory - which was deleted in error. I re-created the directory but now the program will not save any MP# call files to hard disc. I have tried a number of directories on several discs - any ideas? Thanks.
You should be able to point the program to any existing folder (providing you have permissions to write in it) to put recordings.
There is a small button with standard folder icon on the right side of folder path field. You could choose folder by clicking it.
I replaced version 0.7.2 (which worked fine) with version 1.9.0.1 which also works, but with two minor inconveniences (on my Vista Ultimate OS running on all a PC using all Intel parts).
1. starting MP3 Skype recorder does NOT automatically start Skype, the way the older Skype recorder did. Did I miss something? I find no way to turn this feature on.
2. The only way I can start MP3 Skype recorder is to go to C:/Program Files/MP3 Skype Recorder/ and click on MP3 Skype Recorder.exe in the list of files. It is not listed in my Start list, or in "all programs" at bottom of Start list. The only way I can find/access it is to go to the folder that contains it and click on it there.
Other than these two glitches, every thing is fine, and I appreciate the new features
Great program, very useful, thank you!
Hello,
1. This was changed due to the changes in last versions of Skype. Skype now allows to run more than one copy of itself. So when MP3 Skype Recorder is starting Skype, the second, unnecessary instance of Skype client could be started.
2. Could you double check it, please. Cause I tested it on my Vista, and installer created icons successfully. If it's not there, then you could create it manually. Right click on the MP3 Skype Recorder.exe and choose send to desktop (create shortcut). Then just drag it (shortcut from desktop) to start menu.
Many thanks for your comment.
Thank you; I understand your answer #1, but answer #2 causes quirky behavior; so i'll stay with what is working, despite needing multiple click-throughs to get there.
Perhaps I should uninstall and reinstall 1.9.0.1; but here is an additional odd fact; it does not show up in the list of installed programs when I go to control panel/uninstall... Oh well, it's working; I don't need to tinker just to optimize...
Hi I downloaded the skype recorder and the latest skype.
tested it once it worked fine. However now I have changed the settings to where the file will be sent it just doesn't record at all now?
I am using Vista and I have no changed any other settings?!
Any ideas would be helpfull thanks!
Hi. This could happen if the full path is too long. Try to create the folder in the root directory and see if it's working.
The other problem could be if you have no write permission to the folder you chose to store files.
Thanks!
I have no idea how to put it back into app data though.
I have vista and I go to my user and there is no app data file to put it in. Yet I know the file is under my user?!
Any suggestions where I could store the folder and it would work?
Try to reinstall MP3 Skype recorder. Uninstall it using Control panel - Programs and Features (for Vista) or Add or remove programs (for XP) and install it again.
Tried that several times but has no effect?!
