You have to extend the size of file by recording a dummy file (you keeping pressing the record button at the 60 secs) this will give you a larger file size to record and overwrite. Only worth the effort for small number of tracks!

As far as Sound Recorder is concerned this procedure will extend the size of the recording.

Extend the size of file by recording a dummy file (you keeping pressing the record button at the 60 seconds) this will give you a larger file size to record and overwrite with your intended track by using the "insert" procedure to overwrite the dummy file. Only worth the effort for small number of tracks! You probably could just keep pressing record after 60 seconds on your main file but the above procedure will stop you having split-second gaps in your recording.

It allows you to record WAVs as large as memory/hard drive space permits.

This is free for 4 minutes per each use, "LP Recorder"

Often CD Burning software (like Nero) comes packaged with a free .wav recorder.
