Can anyone recommend a good, free replacement for Windows 'Sound Recorder'?
Requirements:
- Very quick to load and run
 - Allows saving to a compact sound format (e.g. MP3)
 - Allows long recordings (1+ Hours)
 - Free
 - Runs on Windows XP
 
Would be nice but probably not essential:
- Saves along the way (in case of crashes)
 - Allows simple edits (trim start and end and maybe remove chunks in the middle)
 
Before anyone suggests it, I'm aware of (and have used) Audacity but I'm really after something as simple and lightweight as possible.
