Moved from Forum Guides. What made you think this question belonged there?

You cannot save to an mp3 directly, unless you use some external library. There are some nice pure java libs, jlayer used to be a good one back in the day, but it hasn't been updated in a few years, might not matter. There are others too.

As for your other question about sounds source, can't say without seeing your code. I know on a Mac you can set the global sound input, and I think java respects that setting. It's possible the JVM can poll the OS and give you a list of sound inputs to choose from, but I couldn't say, I haven't played with in a a couple years.
