SORTED :)

Simple, get an audio cd playing, open up some software that'll record
a wav file.  I use Sound Impression software to do both, it came with
my sound card and i'm sure most cards will have something similar.

Now here is where i went wrong you have to make sure that you're
recording from the line in and not the mic jack. Somehow in WIN95 it
was trying to record from a microphone that didn't exist and
hence.....nada.
Don't record it too loud either, it distorts and could probably do
some damage somewhere.

Make any sense?

Later??...........Ian
Oh and by the way, beware. It's only my opinion.
