Audacity.is very good i use it my self. But a few things.

1) when you make a recording of a audio stream make sure that all other PC sounds are OFF for example when you e-mail box stands open and your get a e-mail you hear a sound. Well when you are busy making a recording that sound of the mail will be on there to

2) Audacity.is a wave recorder so when you make a recording off about 60 min you can have about 500 MB in space on your hard disk. You have to transformer the wave file in to a mp3 so it will a lot smaller in size.about a 1 1/0 so 500 MB will be 50 MB.

3) The mp3 128 kb/s transformer inside Audacity.is not so very good. The best thing you can do is use a other program to transform the wave file in to a mp3

Here is a web link http://dutch.ircfast.com/lv/group/view/k...

It's in Dutch but don't worry just click at " klik hier om te downloaden " with means " click here to start the download " you can do the settings in ENG

A mp3 file is less in quality than a wave file , but less in size like i say before

And last but not least it's a FREE program and it's 100 % virus free it's be check

This is a FREE translation webside it can mabey help you out but be a ware not all the word will be translatied

Audacity. Its a free audio editor and recorder.

Nice and simple to use. The big red record button will record whatever is playing on the computer.
