2 (hopefully) easy questions

1) How do I record audio using my built-in microphone. I have a voice mail on my phone that I'd like to record (by holding the receiver to the mircophone) into a .wav file or something. Can I do that easily?

2) In Mail how do I delete the "suggestions" that it gives me to try and auto-complete addresses. ie: I type an "a" and it gives me all these people who's name starts with A. It's WAY more people than in my Address Book - it's probably everyone that's ever sent me email. How do I edit these suggestions?

Check Versiontracker.com for Amadeus. I tried that a while back, excellent for recording audio...

Aw, but Amadeus isn't free! ;-)

Try out SoundHack for recording and Soundapp (For OS 9) to convert. It's a little cumbersome, but it might be all you need. If not, then jump on Amadeus. Heh.

Get Spark ME 2.8 for free from http://www.tcelectronic.com/

But you can't get a decent quality audio by recording straight from your phone. That's because cellular phones create a lot of interference to audio devices. Give it a try, you'll see what I'm tlaking about. That's why you should always turn off your phone in concerts, movies, etc. Putting it to silent mode is not enough.

Cheers...

1) I'd recommend Felt Tip Sound Studio or Cacaphony. Neither are free, but you can test them for a while before having to pay (and Cacaphony never times out).

2) How disruptive is this problem to your regular mailflow? If it's not that big a deal, I'd say ignore it. It might be all the addresses in your mailboxes, so try deleting messages and emptying the trash.

WireTap ( http://www.macupdate.com/index.php?os=macosx ) for you would be fine or so I think!

That won't help unless he can record sound from the microphone, of which I saw no indication.

Answer to question 1:

Record the sound from source. Download Audio Hijack from www.rogueamoeba.com, ask it to hijack Mail's sound out, and press record.
