It is god for a great deal, which unfortunately means a great deal of reading 
and time spent experimenting or testing. :-)

None that I know of, make side one, and then side two, two seperate files is 
what I do. Also easyier to work with a 300 megabyte wave file than a 600 
megabyte wave file.

/mp3/*classification*/artist/title/*songname*

All miniheadphone jacks are not born equal, nor are they all the same 
dimensions, so there might be no problem with the connection, then the jack 
on the card might not be "quite" up to spec, or the one on the
lead you used 
to record with.

Currently looking for a intergrated amplifier I can put real close to my 
computer to make life easier, currently I have to pull my computer apart, 
assemble next to the Hi-Fi in the lounge, record, then reverse the process, 
back to my room where I work on the files and do the transfer to CD-ROM, 
which I do not appreciate having to do.
