As you've discovered, the Windows sound recorder is pretty awful.  I 
think it's left over from Windows 3.1.  A quick search turned up an 
open source (free) replacement called "Audacity" - 
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/  You can get an MP3 encoder plugin 
for that to save sound files in that format.

Cheers!
