Comments (3)When your given the option to Save, look to the top and click the drop down pointer. Go to New Volume F (That's the way it's is on my PC) Click it, Name it, and Save.

This will allow you to go straight to your Exterior Hard Drive...See MoreHow do I use Kazaa to download songs?
Comments (5)I used Kazaa many years ago. I see it's no longer really "P2P file SHARING". They charge now? Probably claim to be buddy buddy with the RIAA now too huh? Incredible. Good luck if you ever decide to cancel membership. Actually... it's remarkably difficult to get a virus from a media file. Yet possible. Make sure it really is a media file and not some sort of executable. Look at the extension, look for ".mp3", ".wav", ".flac", ".ogg", etc. Do NOT use Windows Media Player, and especially don't install special codecs, WMP might install a virus laden codec automatically. By the way, if you can't see the file extension, it's because Window$, in it's infinite wisdom has decided you're don't need to... Google how to turn them on. :) What extensions do the files have? Have you tried VLC(from videolan.org)? P2P'ers recommend it all the time, includes SAFE codecs to play most any media file you're likely to encounter. "Use VLC" is a lazy answer but it almost always solves the problem. If VLC won't play it... delete it... NOW! :D Google/search for info on VLC and install only the official player from videolan.org. And... if you're paying Kazaa a dishonest $10($9.95) to download and play FREE(?) music, why aren't they quick to help you? Good luck anyway, perhaps I'm being too negative....See MoreHow to download mp3s from YouTube?
Comments (12)Audacity records digital audio information. If you're recording a sound sourced from a record, with the sound source connected to a PC, it's gone through a A to D conversion. Which is what my first comment today mentioned as a factor limiting quality. PC level sound converters are of low quality generally. A really good one all by itself costs hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Whether a sound is stored in analog form or in consumer digital source, at the point where it's inside a PC and "recordable", it's digital. Digital is digital, the original source doesn't matter as far as ways to record it. When you say "OP", are you talking about the conversation above from many years back? PS - there's nothing at all wrong with sound stored in digital form, per se. Most modern musical sound recordings are stored in that way. But at the recording studio level, the sound is lossless and is at VERY high bitrates and VERY high sample rates, much higher in both regards than anything available or playable at a consumer level. Playback of such recordings over appropriate equipment sounds nearly exactly the same as the sound was live....See MorePosting Music
Comments (14)Ewww.. such a inflammatory, confrontational thing to say. Yes technically that was the question perhaps. If everybody was like Mr. Spock and had no emotion and only thought logically we'd all be in trouble. It would be very easy for a beginner to html to bollix up a forum thread by inserting an over-sized mp3 (or worse yet a wav) into the thread. I'm not saying that she would do that or even do it here at GW forums, but practicing in a personal webpage would be better. There is absolutely nothing at all wrong with asking technical questions in a FORUM - definition: " fo·rum (fôrÂÂm, f½rÂ-) n., pl. fo·rums also fo·ra (fôrÂÂ, f½rÂÂ). 1.a. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business. b. A public meeting place for open discussion. c. A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper or a radio or television program. 2. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation. 3. A court of law; a tribunal. [Middle English, from Latin. See dhwer- below.] " experience with the subject, answers, open discussion, anything goes would be my definition of a forum (well except profanity). And besides MaryAnnTX answered her question real good I thought....See More
