Can someone please tell me how received voice messages on YIM may be downloaded and saved to computer?
I’m receiving a message that I only have space for 5 more messages. I do not want to have to delete any of these messages in order to be able to receive more. I desparately need a way to save these messages to computer before deleting. Is there any way to do this?Hi Lavendar,
There no quick way to Record voice messages but here is A way.
If you’re familiar with playing music through voice chat on yahoo! you would know the best way to channel sound on your pc is via your soundcard, this is also the case when recording from your own pc.
If you’re unfamilar with changing your sound options to play via soundcard read here or here
Once you have your stereo or mono mic selected you must keep the record volume wndow open as the next two operations will auto change it back to microphone and you will have to tick it back to one of the mixes, ok go to Start then Run and type in sndrec32.exe and press return/enter.
A small window with a red record button should open and some other buttons greyed out.
open you voice mail messages and press play on the first one and check the record volume bar meter to make sure its on stereo/mono mix and volume bar on it near the bottom and press the red circle record button on the little application that you opened, it will now start to record for a 2 minutes period (the total time of a Y! voice mail message).
Once finished you can get the option to press play and hear the recording, if it sounds fine go to file then save as and save the first recording to a folder of your choice and follow suit with the rest of your Y! Voice mails.
Hopefully you can understand this method and welcome to bigblueball 🙂
I believe what he wants to know is how to save the “voice mails” that you get on yahoo to your computer. I myself have wondered this in the past, but haven’t bothered to ask or look to see where yahoo saves them at.
Hi Lavendar, and another WELCOME for you from all of us here. 🙂
As Dermot says, there is NO “easy” way – you must either follow his path above, or alternatively a similar process is outlined here (part of my Yahoo 360 Blog) if you prefer.
I’m like you – many of mine I like to save.
It’s a pain dealing with the maximum of 20 – and if/when you DO reach that level, then anyone who tries to send you one will get told “voicemail box is full”, and be unable to send.Good luck – let’s know how you get on.
(And gee, I wish/hope that some future version of YM will make it simple for us “hoarders” 😉 )
