What is ThunderSoft Free Audio Recorder?
ThunderSoft Free Audio Recorder captures sound playing on a Windows computer and audio from a microphone, with an option to record both together. It provides Record, Pause and Stop controls, output-format settings and recording plans for automatic capture. It can be useful for short personal voice notes or brief captures of computer audio.
The publisher lists MP3, OGG, AAC, AC3, FLAC, M4A, MKA, WAV and WMA output. Audio settings let you choose the recording source and adjust output parameters; the supplied publisher screenshot shows format, bitrate, sample rate, channel and output-folder controls.
Despite the name, the publisher describes this as a home edition for personal use only with a two-minute limitation. Its separate claim of long-time recording does not establish unlimited recording in the free edition. The linked ZIP is the package offered on the publisher's page, which advertises version 10.2; the archive contents and installed behavior have not been inspected.

Good to know
