hey guys this looks like a good, free skype recorder program with no strings attached. the problem is that my windows installer is messed up right now and i cant install mp3 skype recorder. and ive tried everything under the sun to fix the damned thing to no avail,  so dont ask about that it prob. wont help any. i guess what im wondering is can you somehow compile a regular version without needing to use an .msi file? so that i dont need to go through windows installer? thanks!

I am having some trouble with the program. Installation was smooth and it starts up fine, however when Ih record calls, the program only records what I am saying but does not get the interviewee's stream. How can I fix it? I'm using Windows XP, and when asked by both the Firewall and Skype if I allow running the software I told it to do so. Thanks for your help!

Release 1.8.6 doesn't record skype calls, It generate a 0 Kb file size. LR.

Hello I have Windows Vista in Russian, Skype in Italian (I am not mad, just an Italian who bought a PC in Russia).  Installation went smooth for both programs.  Skype Recorder seems not to see Skype or viceversa.  Skype does not ask to allow MP3 S R in the list of API's.  I have added both at the windows brandmauer exception  

Version 1.8.6.1  (July 15, 2009)
Joint Stereo not working.  Tried at 32,64,128 bit.  Downloaded and installed on 07/15/2009.
Playback tried with both Windows media player and Quicktime.  Runninig in Vista Ultimate.

Hey,
I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue where your window is not viewable.  To be more precise, I can see it when I hover over the bar on the bottom, but when I actually click it on the taskbar, it gives me a window that's so small I can't see anything.  Yes, I've tried restoring it, and it just disappears when I do that.  The weird thing is, when I alt-tab it, I can see it in the icon's list again, but then the vicious circle of trying to get it to maximise again starts all over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks!

I keep getting the "Error connecting to Skype" - No Skype detected or your version doesn't have Skype Extras..."  I have reinstalled current versions of both Skype (4.1.0.141) and MP3 Skype Recorder (1.8.6) both downloaded and reinstalled today (2009-07-22).  Same error.  Skype Extras is there, being used by two other "extras":
1) SKYLINK 2-in-1 Phone Utility.exe
2) SkypeNames.exe
I'm running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
Any ideas?
Thanks, great program.  Works fine for me on two other computers.

When I click a weblink from within MP3 Skype Recorder, it opens the URL always in the Internet Explorer and not the system's default browser - in my case Firefox. It would be great, if you could fix this... Thx!

Nice Program!
I really like your program, and am surprised that it's free.  You ought to try and work some sort of arrangement with Skype for them to sell it when someone purchases its service for dialing land-lines.  Your product could be particularly useful for those people who have Internet radio shows, etc., allowing them to quickly upload the interview of a few people in a conference call without having to use third-party hosting.
I do have three minor issues with it: 1.) When I select Stereo or Joint Stereo, using my USB headphone, it works more like a dual-channel mono when I play the MP3.  (When I select mono, it comes out both channels simultaneously, as I expect.) 2.) I need to allow the program access via my firewall, with evident security concerns. 3.) When I click on the program's "Support Us" link, nothing happens and am not re-directed.  You should have a PayPal.com account at the least where people can send some money to your e-mail address.
Thanks again for making such a nice little program available!

I've found that whichever audio setting I use, if I'm talking and the person on Skype talks at the same time, the recorder will make me very choppy and lose most of what I'm saying while it keeps the Skype input perfectly. But it does record both sides properly if only one person is speaking at that moment.

Unfortunately normal conversation is rarely orderly enough to guarantee that people will never talk over each other, so I hope you can provide some resolution to make sure the program correctly records both audio inputs even if people are talking on top of each other.
