Windows 7, how can I record audio playing from internet?

[jimkroger]

I need to record music playing in my browser, for my guitar lessons.
Audacity always just records using my web cam microphone and it's bad.
How can I directly record music playing in my browser (or other source on my computer)?
I know windows 7 messes up the mixer drop down. I read the instructions and tried to follow them on
using the windows sound control panel but I find nothing that corresponds to audio in my browser or other software source playing music.

Thanks for any help.

For Windows 7 you should be using Audacity 1.3.12 http://audacityteam.org/download/

Nothing wrong with that page, but for Windows the question/solution is dealt with in more detail on this page http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... trol_Panel (the page that your link goes to also links to this page).

Do you mean 1.3.12- beta ? I do not succeed in recording using 1.3.12 - beta ?
Can you help me ?

Yes, 1.3.12 beta (though 1.3.13 beta is due out later this month).
Haw far have you got? At what point are you getting stuck?
