I do it similarly, connecting the headphone output of my radio to the 'line-in' of my sound card (I think line-in is better, but microphone may also work). For recording, you can use audacity (with GUI control and sound editing possibilities) or sound-recorder (command-line, good for scripting). You will also need a mixer app (e. g. tkmix) to set the recording source (line or microphone) and control the volume). > > I did a google search, but didn't find much. > -- > Regards, > dbp HTH -- Joachim Fahnenmüller -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
