It records "what you hear" on your PC to a high quality MP3 file. It automatically splits audio into tracts by detecting silence in between.

It is a total solution to record audio, organize and playback on Windows 7 or Vista.

It normalizes MP3 volume automatically, so you don't need to roll up or down the volume knob while you play back recorded MP3.

It removes "unwanted", system generated sound during recording (like "ka-ka" sound when you click a URL). It only keeps the sound you want to keep.

It lets you "tag" MP3 easily (multi-language supported!). i.e., You could use it to change MP3 title, artist name, rating, album photo.

It lets you organize your MP3 collection. You could sort them by title, artist, rate, created date, plays.

You could create or modify playlists easily by dragdroping (or from menu) from your collection.

You could import your existing MP3 to Empro by dragdroping (or from menu).

You could export MP3 or playlists to any folder of the Windows Explorer. Then you could import them to your MP3 devices (e.g.,iPod via iTune).

You could use Empro to play back MP3 with embedded Media Player.

Vista and Windows 7.

Empro records audio to 128 bits per second (Kbps) MP3. Optionally you could use 256 instead. But you may not notice the difference.

The recorded audio quality is very much depending on the audio chip on your PC. For example, as author's own experience, RealTek chip provides very nice sound quality. Many PC vendors (Dell, Acer etc) use this chip.

You may check the default format of your playback device (see "how to improve audio quality"). Usually higher format, like 24 bits, 48000 Hz, gives you better audio quality.

You may try to adjust "effect" of your playback device. It may also improve recorded audio quality.

If your embedded audio device cannot generate good sound quality, try to use a better USB headset to record. e.g., LogicTech

It is virus free. Unlike downloading files via a P2P service, Empro only deals with bits of sound. You don't deal with files that may contain a virus.

It gives you more choices with your own taste. As long as you could hear you could use Empro to record. That means that you could record sound from YouTube, radio stations, or your own CD.

You may get a legal problem when you download a unknown P2P file. It is legal to use Empro since you record directly from what you hear, just like old VCR and as long as you do not distribute your recorded MP3 commercially.

Compared with other similar softwares to record "what you hear", Empro doesn't use driver, doesn't require special hardware capability of your sound card, It simply works with supported OS.
