Record From Sound Card

[Michael_]

Hello
I need a way of recording any sound that is played through the computer so say if the user was open up windows media player and play a song then he could click record on my application and it would capture whatever is being played. After that there would also need to be a save button so the can click save and the user can save the file as a .wav or .mp3 or whatever! Please help me.

Thanks for the help however I did struggle across some difficulties:
These are the errors that 'visual basic.net' has:
'WaveInStream' not defined
'WaveFileWriter' not defined
'WaveFormat' not defined
'WaveInEventArgs' not defined

and also there was a warning:
'NAudio.Wave' name space or type specified in the imports doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases

I don't know about the warning but it doesn't take an idiot to realise that all the errors are related to 'Wave'. I was wondering if this is because there wasn't something imported that should have been. Hope you can help.
Thanks

Sorry didn't read the top bit.
It's getting late here and I'm quite tired
I'll download the program NAudio first
I don't know how you found this
I searched for ages, 20 minutes or so, and still couldn't find anything

I tried it and it failed

maybe it's just me though I will just make what I want in visual C it has examples on the NAudio website on how to do it

Learn DirectSound, you will find you can do quite a lot of things with it...

You can record a simple WAV file using mciSendString("record filename"). I'm not sure exactly about the specifics, you should search it.
