Ensure that Windows is fully updated. If Windows is updating in the background it can slow down the machine considerably and cause drop-outs.

yes says it supports PLAYLISTS In that case, you can split the long recording into multiple short recordings (see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/export_multiple.html and http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/regular_interval_labels.html), and join them together (so they play in the correct sequen...
