 CH> Apperently, the stock Win95 Sound recorder has a 1 minute limit,
 CH> according to those in the Win95 echo.
 Ah! Yeah, that's right. It's really not intended for music, just for
 short sound-bites to use for system events and such.  It isn't even
 capable of stereo, as I recall.
 RM>> ..you  can't multi-task when you're burning a CD, in any case.
 CH> Too resource intensive?
 You might say that. Just about anything that accesses the hard drive will
 ruin your recording, including screen-savers and virus-checkers.
 
 re: HyCD OEM version
 CH> How much extra do they dupe ya for the "full" version? :-)
 $69.95, I believe.
 
 RM>> ..sound quality and compatibility are identical between IDE and SCSI
 RM>> burners, but a SCSI system will let you do it in half the time..
 CH> Overall time isn't a concern here. :)
 Then an IDE burner would serve you well, I reckon.
 
 RM>> .."test- before-write" option..
 CH> Interesting, like the DOS "VERIFY" command...
 Exactly! 
 CH> I'd want 100% reliablity.
 Right. If I'm gonna do it, I want to do a good job of it.
 
 RM>> And 8x burners are expen$ive! 
 CH> Overall, the prices are coming down.
 Oh yeah, the 4x and below IDE burners are very reasonable. But an 8x
 SCSI burner will set you back a grand or so.. and no one discounts them
 to any degree.
 CH> What "audible" effects do under-runs create?
 It's like you took an analog tape and clipped an inch or two out, then
 spliced it back together
 
 RM>> Anyway, let me know if & when you get a CD-R, I'd be most
 RM>> interested in hearing your experiences.
 CH> Will do.  I wonder if anyone is doing this stuff inder OS/2? 
 Errr.. there's probably something out there.. But methinks you'll have
 to look long and hard to find it!
