Oddly enough my six year old Dell Dimension 2400 desktop PC will not record streaming audio - but my much newer Dell Vostro 1710 is enabled to do this

Hi steve,
I looked back at your thoughts about "Total Recorder" after giving it a try recently...
steve wrote:I tried "Freecoder 4 Toolbar" and I was most unimpressed that it forced the installation of a load of unwanted other software even when deselected, and then was very difficult to uninstall. In my opinion "Freecoder 4 Toobar" is one to avoid.
Regarding Total Recorder Standard Edition 8.2 build 4200
CNet rate it as free from viruses, spyware, and malware (see CNet Download Policy
http://www.cnet.com/download-software-p ... ?tag=mncol )
There is one review that says "Pros: FREE AND LOOKED GOOD, Cons: SPYWARE AND MORE INCLUDED, Summary: AVOID THIS DOWNLOAD" but the other two reviews give it 4 out of 5 stars and are happy with it.
I'm always a bit suspicious of reviews that are written entirely in upper case, especially if they give an entirely one sided review with no substantiating evidence ("What" spyware is included? Why did neither of the other reviewers or the CNet team notice any spyware?)
I wonder if that reviewer was mixing up Total Recorder with Freecoder 4 Toolbar.
You were right... I think that guy that gave it a bad review on cnet was mixing it up with "Freecorder 4 Toolbar"... I tried Totalrecorder recently and it works great... I'm making a movie trailer for the rockumentary, "Police Around the World" that is posted on YouTube and I needed a few sound clips from it for my trailer film.
I went ahead and sprang for the big $17.95 for it and it works flawlessly and didn't install any adware or spyware.
Thanks for the recommendation,
digi
