Read a few at http://www.google.com/search?&q=audacity+windows+7+recording
I used to record Internet radio shows by playing them in IE and by setting the sound recording mixer to "Stereo Mix" that would record the sound off the speakers in a small add-on program. I recently switched from XP to Windows 7 and now I can't figure out how to configure the sound mixer to record from the Wave Out or Stereo Out. What am I missing here?
