Can I record from Line-In with Windows Media Player 9?

[poster]

Just wondering if I can use my mic and line-in jacks on my MoBo with WMP9. I'm trying to record things from my scanner (the radio kind) as wavs or mp3s. I tried using sound recorder but it's got a limit of 60 seconds. Seems it was designed for 486s and never updated to record more as mem/power increased. I wanna record RTC<-->Train conversations and defect detectors my local CN subdivision..

Can it be done, or is there a way to record from Sound Recorder for more than 60 seconds?

thanks!

You can use windows media encoder (Link) if you don't mind wma files.

Someone else suggested using Movie Maker. Works for me. Is there a way to get a visual representation of the recording with the squiggly line? There's a lot of dead air and I'd like to be able to skip right to the spots with radio traffic going on but I don't know where they are without seeing 'em. Kinda like the Sound Recorder playback feature. Dunno if this is possible or not but it'd be handy to have.
