#### A free audio-recorder for Linux (EXTREMELY BUGGY)

This amazing program allows you to record your favourite music or audio to a file.
It can record audio from your system's soundcard, microphones, browsers, webcams & more.
Put simply; if it plays out of your loudspeakers you can record it.

It has an advanced timer that can:

* Start, stop or pause recording at a given clock time.
* Start, stop or pause after a time period.
* Stop when the recorded file size exceeds a limit.
* Start recording on voice or sound (user can set the audio threshold and delay).
* Stop or pause recording on "silence" (user can set the audio threshold and delay).

The recording can be atomatically controlled by:

* RhytmBox audio player.
* Banshee audio player.
* Amarok, VLC, Audacious and other MPRIS2 compatible players.
* Skype. It can automatically record all your Skype calls without any user interaction.

This program supports several audio (output) formats such as OGG audio, Flac, MP3 and WAV.

User can also control the recorder from command line with --command <arg> option.
See audio-recorder --help for more information.

INFORMATION REGARDING TO SECURITY CONFINEMENT

Connect to the `removable-media` slot to allow saving recording to removable storages:

sudo snap connect audio-recorder:removable-media

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install Audio Recorder (UNOFFICIAL)

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
