ever had this situation, your favorite and long searched track is being played in a website sadly there is no further information where to buy, where to search etc, what the track name is, etc… only option i left out with is to record the audio itself, but i am not that desperate to record it with a mic while it is being played in speaker, i required a neat solution. stepvoice gave that solution.

it records the sound being played in the system without a mic or speaker, it supports mp3 format – on the fly, that is saving space.

very neat application, it is not a freeware but comes with trial version. you can download it at: click here

lets say you want to record a audio track from a youtube video

1. launch stepvoice application
2. select the path where the recording file need to be saved
3. open the youtube or where the audio file is being played
4. start playing the video with volume on
5. start recording in stepvoice
6. make sure there is not other sound producing application running
7. once done, stop the recording
8. verify the recorded file(mostly it is with very good sound quality.)

DoT is planning to add extra digit to our cell numbers, i.e from 10 digit to 11 digit, earlier they released 8 series number after exhausting use of 9 series.
This extra digit is at premature stage, they might add extra 9, but this can be carried out only after consulting with industry operators.

India’s telecom subscription has crossed 500 million mark, and growing rapidly, it is expected to cross 1 billion by 2014, this extra digit addition will ease the growth. But adding new digit is not easy move for users, it means updating contact numbers, update numbers to bank, office, business card etc.

In my opinion this cannot come in short notice, atleast year long notice is required, else allow both 10 digit and 11 digit co-exist for the number.

I’ve nokia s60v3 device(e71), at some point i have thought like i should have buyed apple iphone despite the fact i hate touch screens, for all its glossy apps and all the sync apps for rtm,evernote, twitter… but today after reading gigaom article on apple’s voip functionality, i’m happy i didnt buy apple iphone, i hate too much control.
Apple isnt allowing voip calls over 3G, which prevents nimbuzz, truphone and fring to work, is it working in india for iphone users?
