A series of do's and undo's caused it to crash. Other than that, it has never crashed. I frequently use it to process live recordings (label each track, export each track to flac and to ogg, make CD's from flac (k3b) and put ogg's on a website). Never crashed during these normal operations. Oh, another thing. If you choose to export multiple ... the various labels, the resulting windows says exporting the whole project, which is wrong. But the exports are correct though. -HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I seem to think that is too much work. Why not simply open up audacity, set it to read from line in, adjust your mixer settings accordingly, and then just let audacity record from the line in of the sound card directly? Probably you do want to save the finished copy of course, before you split it up, but you can also block and copy-paste the songs over to new wav files from within Audacity itself. Stefan
