New Tips for Resco Audio Recorder Users

If you are looking for a really advanced audio recorder and want to make high-quality recording of mostly speech while saving as much storage as possible, then, Resco Audio Recorder (Resco for short) is probably the best choice for you. (Note that I've emphasized speech. Resco is not really suited for high-quality music recording – its MP3 encoder is of pretty bad quality and its Ogg encoder – the other high-quality format also meant for music recording – can't record in high-quality modes on recent PDA's. Please also see this roundup on all these questions.) I've been trying to reduce the memory consumption of the applications on my PDA's and also played a bit with the files of Resco and found out the following: - If you record/play MP3, RAF or WAV only (that is, not OGG or SPX files), then, you won't need the files RAudioOgg.dll and RAudioOggE.dll (they're both in the home directory of Resco; if you've installed Resco in the main RAM, it's at \Program Files\Resco); that is, you can free up 1.4 Mbytes. - If you record/play OGG or SPX only (that is, not MP3, RAF or WAV files), then, you won't need the files RAudioMp3.dll and RAudioMp3E.dll; that is, you can free up 434 kbytes. Also, if you have a WM2003SE (or later) device, then, you can also delete the contents of [vga_]default_land if you don't use your PDA in landscape mode at all. With VGA devices, then, you can free up even 180 kbytes; with QVGA ones, some 90 kbytes. EDIT (Feb 2, 2006): you may also want to read this thread on some other tricks.
