Hello All, I have tried using Audacity on this Acer TravelMate 3230, and it will record, until I select a USB source, in particular a turntable with RCA and USB output. Audacity will record for a while, then stop while signal is still coming in, and I have not found how to get it to go on, even restarting with a bit missing is difficult. I am having some success with a different turntable/stereo that will record to a USB memory stick, but only as MP3. I suspect that there may be compatability issues, including only 1.5Gb of RAM. I know Audacity is stable and usable to do the editing, just not the recording. A way round this is to capture the audio data stream from the USB source, then load into Audacity to edit and cut into tracks. I would appreciate pointers as to how to capture the data stream other than Audacity. Regards, Mark Trickett
