Audacity Forum

I have version 1.3 of audacity and my my OS is windows 7. I have downloaded the lame encoder. When I record songs that are already on my computer it does fine, but when I try to record streaming audio such as You Tube it won't record the song. What am I doing wrong?

You need to select "stereo mix" (name can be different in some systems) as the recording device. Not all computers running Windows 7 or Visa have that option available...

Have a look at this wiki topic: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Recor ... e_computer

Or this tutorial from the manual (hopefully it's a bit more readable then the Wiki article ): http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tuto ... e_computer
