Of course capturing the essence file from the broadcaster is the best approach from speed and quality point of view. I was the one that recommended using Audacity. Using the analogue hole is always a last resort, when time and expertise is limited My use case was that the resultant file will be played on a cheap CD player in an old peoples home to a listener's over the age of 90. I usually send one CD per quarter. The method is outlined here. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html In my configuration I can record the "Stereo Mix" and then export as 160k stereo for burning to CD.
