Record Skype Calls as MP3s with Call Graph
Posted by Adam Pash at 7:00 AM on April 2, 2008
Windows only: Freeware plug-in Call Graph integrates with the popular VoIP application Skype to record your Skype as MP3s and organize those recordings with a simple interface. Once installed, you can set Call Graph to automatically record all of your Skype calls, or you can choose to start and stop recording manually during a call. After you record a call, you can rename and add relevant information to the call data—which comes in handy when you use Call Graph to search your index of recorded calls. There are many Skype recording tools out there, but most come with a price or limitations. The freeware, Windows-only Call Graph has no limitations, and while its current interface is spare, it's simple to use and does the job.

A great product. Must download.
I wonder why they are allowing it for free, people will easily pay for this.

Awesome! I've been using Pamela for Skype but my trial ran out a little while ago. Once again, Lifehacker has saved the day.

I've used Freecorder for a while, but it was clunky and weird... I'm looking forward to using this so I can record online seminars for later reference.

On a similar note, I am a fan of using Audacity to take Skype vm's to MP3...great when I LogMeIn to my home PC from work, see I've missed a call, but cannot get the audio (LogMeIn Free, not Pro like we use at work). Hit record in Audacity, play the message in Skype, save, e-mail, then I have it at work to listen.

JamezHill is right, the guy needs to learn about how to make video. I didn't like the video either but I am definitely going to give this a try.

I tried the software on a couple of PCs and found that the sound quality of the recording was not that great. It's like they chose the wrong codec to ecode the audio in to an mp3. You can still clearly hear the conversation and its dead easy to use. But as I say the sound quality was just bad enough to become annoying pretty quick.
I sent some feed back to the developers so maybe this will be sorted out. Once this one issue is sorted this will be a perfect product.

It is important to remember that this, like any conversation recording device, may fall under recording laws. I'm not sure how Skype and other VoIP services are viewed legally, but it is best ot not take any chances.
Check the status of the state you live in, or are calling.
