Hi Eleanor, no I paid for my standard edition to unlock it. The free version is for trial that why Total Recorder inserts a beep every minute or so as a limitation. What I tried to say earlier that the standard edition has the capability of clipping mp3 files. The standard edition may have other audio editing features - check the website for the full list of features. In other words, unless you pay you'll keep getting this beep noise. I purchased Total Recorder a while ago so I can't remember how much I paid I am afraid.

Amro has not experienced any noise with his Standard free version and Eden did. I decided to give it a go so downloaded the Standard Free version and installed it. On opening it, there is a notice where clearly states that as it has not been purchased or registered there will be an intermittant noise at minute intervals. The advice given was to go to help to Register. However, I could not find Help so I am asking you good folk for Help to find Help *smile*, that has to be an Irisism!
