Windows MP3 microphone recording tool?

Hi!
 Would anyone know of a free Windows MP3 microphone recording tool that can also executed via command line?

Thanks!

Comment:  Since the content and parameters of a sound file are unknown beforehand, compressing directly to MP3 is going down a one-way street.  If the resulting quality is unacceptable or the file is too large, you must re-record the whole thing.  For this reason, recording is typically done to a WAV file, then converted to MP3 later.  This allows adjusting the MP3 compression parameters so that the resulting file compresses well without overly damaging the sound quality.

Dr. Klahn,
  Each of these voice recording sessions will be over 3 hours, I like to record those sessions as MP3s on the fly otherwise I may not have enough storage space on HD.
