MX Skype Recorder

<< < (2/2)

jdmarch:
Another skype plugin: I tried PrettyMay http://www.prettymay.net/ free version for a few days, liked it so much that I paid for the Pro version ($25). In addition to recording Skype conversations, PM can automatically download/convert Skype Voicemails to MP3, let you check your Skype voicemail from a pre-authorized remote telephone (when you phone your SkypeIn number from, say, your mobile, it answers and reads you your voicemail), and more. He still seems to be working a few kinks out, but already it's a nice useful piece of work.

PrettyMay looks like it has all the bells and whistles with flute and full orchestra to come. But the free version only does up to 30 mins recording. For full features as always you need to pay for full (pro) version.
Myself, I find that MX Skype Recorder does what I want - it records my skype out and skype calls in full for free without hassle, as long as I have remembered to start it before I start the call.
This seems to do the basics well and reliably enough for this amateur guy.

jdmarch:
Right, different emphasis. I have no particular interest in recording skype conversations (and anyway, isn't that illegal in many places unless you obtain the prior consent of the other party?), but I do want the voicemail management that PM offers. PM's free version actually met my needs; I just upgraded to Pro to support the developer.

BTW, FWIW, I just learned that the PM online forum is mostly unavailable in recent days because of broken undersea cables from the recent earthquake near Taiwan.
