About a year ago i downloaded freeware called "Audacity" on the W-98Se box, but never could figure out how to make it work.

Tried again this week on a newer XP OS, and it seems to be a lot more intuitive and manageable, although there is still a lot about it i don't have a clue about, and it does weird and unpredictable things... which it is probably supposed to, I just don't know how or why yet.

Managed to record from an old casette tape and tweak the audio somewhat (it was in baaad shape). Ultimately want to burn it onto a CD.

Audacity saves to an *.aup file, which is probably unique to this software. I can "Import" it as a *.wav, but in order to import as a .mp3 it needs some other whoozie i don't know how to get.

Tried burning these files and others to CD, but when I put it in the CD player... silence! Apparently all I got was a "data" disk.

Any suggestions as to how I might convert these *.aup or *.wav files to audio CDs?

Another thing; is it possible / legal to record streaming online "radio" and burn it on to a CD?

If so... HOW?

Thanx - UJ
