Looks like a limitation of the software. fair enough, since it is free. Anyway below is the email conversation i had with tech support
Hi Amar,
The toolbar is a basic audio recorder. There is no setting to allow you to ignore silence. It will create a new file when it detects this. If you'd like you can check out Replay Media Catcher. This is what we normally recommend for capturing BBC radio.

IP: 193.35.12.2 Subject: several files generated when recording
Hello,
I have been using the Freecorder 3 Toolbar to record spoken word plays from the BBC Radio 4 internet station.
The problem i am having is that several separate files are being generated during the record process.
I think the issue is because the play (approx 1.5 hours in length) has pauses bewteen conversations between the actors. Is there anyway of preventing Freecorder 3 Toolbar from creating separate files when it encounters a pause??
I've checked on the forum, it appears several people have the same issue. Also, i can't see in the manual how to switch off "new file generation on pause"
Any ideas??
Thanks
AMAR
p.s. great product by the way, it could be the answer to my problems!
