Also, since you are working with long files, in case you didn't know, you can jump forward or back (seek) using the right or left arrow keys... You can also jump forward/back to the next/previous label. You need to have focus in the label track and then use Tab to go to next label 0r Shift+Tab to g...

Thanks very much gentlemen. I looked at the Behringer UCA-202 and see it has l/r input and l/r output. I assume that's for "line" signals. And of course, it has the USB connection. But turntables usually have a different output, usually labeled "phono". Does the UCA-202 compensa...

None, zero, nichtet, nada, de rien! definitely looks like its the USB carble or ports - or even the USB hardware in your tape device. Since...

My preamp is the ARTcessories DJ-Pre-II - cost is c. US$40 or UK£40 this may work ok with just the soundcard on your PC provived you have a line-in and not just a mic-input (many laptops only have mic inputs) The ARTcessories combined device (Pre-amp plus USB soundcard) is their USB Phono Plus which...

I run Audacity successfully on a half meg old desktop, only very slightly faster process than yours at 3.06 gHz and less available disk space than you have - and I have McAfee running - so I'm puzzled

You're not using a USB TT or USB soundcard connected via a USB hub are you?

Do you have other applications running while you are recording with Audacity ?

Do you have a virus checker running? If so can you configure it to trust/ignore *.aup and *.au files ?
