You probably want this... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/UCA202.jpg That's a UCA-202 and it's about $30. It will provide the stereo connection to your computer. If you're older than dirt, it's possible you have a large deskside computer and not a laptop. In that case you may have an actual stere...

That's one of our overly complete dissertations.

iTunes > File > New Playlist

Drag your music from the general iTunes area into your new playlist.

File > Burn Playlist To Disk > OK the burn dialog.

You seem to be perfectly on top of this, just misinformed. The iTunes tools create a delightful Music CD from your music -- either AIFF or WAV. You should know that the limit on Music CDs is Time, not data size. Music CDs will hold 78 Minutes of very high quality music. Period. It's just shy of the ...

I think I'm as far as I can go without you telling me everything you have. What's a Crosley, what does it do and how is it connected? What kind of Mac? You're going through iTunes, right?

That's how you're recording it, what are you recording?

If you put a store-bought Music CD in the computer, does it play?

Koz

No, because its the same problem. The software needs to "know" which sounds are the voice. Past the usual trick that voices are usually dead center in a stereo performance, there isn't a way. Large pipe organs have a stop called "Vox Humana." It makes the organ sound like a small...

Import both files. One will appear above the other on the timeline. Copy the bottom one, select the end of the first one and paste. That's the good news. The bad news is you can't export and create another MP3 without some pretty serious damage from double compression. You're far better using an MP3...
