easy hardware method?

[tanda333]

could you not just run a stereo plug from your line out to your line in and get you comp to record it that way?

or would sound card have feedback issues?

That would work, but a better solution would be to use a virtual sound device to playback and record from. Removed the interference and feedback issues.

recording from the wave output works but theres 1 problem

you have to manually start and stop the recording then after that you have to open the recording in a audio editor

then remove any unwanted things such as  silence from starting too early and noise from another song from stopping the recording too late

you also generally don't know if a song is good until you hear a few seconds (this makes it very hard to get an entire song)

and after all that you still need to manually add in the artist and name

while the line in is extremely good for connecting a radio to your pc  and recording that way. the line in only picks up stereo
