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

If it's still available for your distribution, try Ecasound. It can record audio from your shell prompt and may have features that you'll find useful. It's a very long time since I've used it.

Using Debian, just fired up Synaptic and installing ecasound and related packages, including documentation. Have to see how I get along with it. Regards, Mark Trickett
