As to why your recording stopped (initial post in this thread) that's still a mystery 
WC
I think I may have found the problem. There is section on recording length,
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recording_length ,that says there is a 13.5 hour limit on recording. I did not see this section when I 1st was digging for a reason/solution for my problem. Looks like if I just set the end time as desribed in this section,
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/TimedRecording ,I should be ok.
Keep your fingers crossed for me.

The 13.5 hour limit only applies to Audacity version 1.2.x.
If you upgrade to 1.3.11, the current release, the theoretical recording limit goes up (to 58 billion hours!), but the actual limit is set by your hardware.

And note that there are limits to the length/size of WAV/MP3/whatever audio files that other software and music players can handle.

Ya, but I'm not too tech savy. So, I'll just stick with the stable platform. I don't mind doing shorter recording sessions, just wish I'd known before I started.

I saw that to. Wiki said Audacity ran into problems opening anything @ 9 hours or more. I'll record 8 hour blocks then cut them down to about 1 hour tracks. That should be easy enough for me to work with. If it turns out to still be too long I'll just keep shortening things. I've put 20 minute podcasts on my mp3 player with no problem.
I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks
John

You should consider moving to 1.3. Despite the fact that it is Beta - it is a pretty mature Beta and is in fact more stable than the officially "stable" 1.2.6 on many modern computing platforms. Plus you get a lot of new and improved functionality - (1.3.12 is due to hit the streets soon).
You can get 1.3 from here:

Downloaded 1.3. It works better, and the timed recording feature is very handy. Recorded a 3 hour block with no problem. My Mp3 player can run the 3 hour track but it takes a little longer than normal to load so I'm going to try cut it up. Thanks to you all for your help.
