Nops. The CPU isn't powerful enough to compress on the fly and disk isn't big enough to hold *many* records in wav format. Otherwise no problem. quality wav files==10MB/minute. So you calculate how many records you can fit in. > Since some of the records are pretty old and scratched, I will need some > editing to be done to remove the ticks and pops, as also to sort the > recordings to my liking. Correct but getting audio editing correct requires an artist(Can't help to pass on this advise as I have failied miserably to produce any good result for audio editing despite of good tools). Just remember that and Audio editing is disk intensive as well. > Q.2 - Which software should I use ? Sreagnsu has already given rec. I also recommend you to look at a tool called as record that comes as a part of xawtv tools package. Very easy. For editing I recommned you look at broadcast2000. A real good tool.
