@Steve: you were typing while I was updating my post - see the update

I suspect that this is a bug?

I just did some experimentation and see what you mean about cut&paste and overlap OP said "overwrite" rather than overlap, so we'll have to wait for OP's reply. But apart from the paste result looking confusing if you paste inside existing labels (or you aren't zoomed in), did you fin...

I've got three long label tracks full of labels and I'd like to merge them into one. I can copy and paste sections of them from track to track, but it will overwrite any already there. I can export them and reimport them, but the label export function doesn't include information about which track t...

When you were recording did you see two sets of wiggly blue waveforms?

For HDMI input use you may need to update your PC's driver software (but try it first).

I hadn't consider the ADC. If I use the phono preamp in my recevier and use HDMI into my laptop, I'll be going Analog>Digital in the receiver (fine so far), but then doing the Digital>Analog in my laptop and then Analog>Digital again in Audacity.. not ideal! I wish I could capture the raw digital d...

Roughly how much disk space will 1 minute of 32-bit WAVE recording use? (I'm trying to make sure I have enough space both on my laptop and on my USB HDD that I'll use as a backup)

Should take 20MB per minute for stereo - half that for mono.

I also just realised my laptop has HDMI In (which I'm thinking will be better than the Mic input) and my surround receiver has a phono stage and HDMI out, so I'm going to try hooking it all up and see if I even need the Behringer USB phono thingy. Don't forget that you will need a phono preamp some...

Good thought - and that way if you have any that are not white-label and have cover artwork you can use the piccies for online artwork in your music library.

Most of them have very sketchy data online and some are white labels etc so I think I'm gonna have to type up the metadata as I go :/ You could be terribly old-fashioned and use pencil & paper, in the 20 minutes of recording tou should have plenty of time to make notes in a little notebook :gee...
