Skype is an invaluable tool in business. Personally I use Skype to make the great majority of outbound phone calls each day from my office computer or MacBook air.
From time to time it is important to be able to record the call for training purposes or to have a record of the conversation for later review.
After evaluating several programs for Windows PCs, I found this simple free, lightweight application to do a very good job of recording the call and saving an MP3 file of the call into a folder.
If are using a Mac, the program that I found works best is Call Recorder
