The correct and recommended way to uninstall audiodeck is by uninstalling from the Windows Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows 7/Vista).

ok.

From what you say it has been accomplished with no harm done.
The description of the uninstaller at the site mentions that it cleans registry entries as well. But for safety I would try through Windows first.

I have had success.
Using the recommened installer allows me now to record from line in internet audio stream and export to mp3.

Now I think I need to fix the recording time length. Audacity as installed did not stop and say 'time is up' but I want to be able to set recording length at an hour or more for news.

Hmmm,

Maybe I'm getting my programs mixed up. I own Goldwave as well and also fixed LAME in that program (I haven't used it for a long time relying on Audiograbber for these things.)

Is there not a numeric value to give to Audacity in a like manner to Goldwave? GW is set for 1 hr 20 mins in one of it's dialog boxes.

I've no idea what Goldwave does as I don't use it.
In Audacity, if you want to record for a specific period, use Timer Record.
Normally with Audacity you would just press stop (or spacebar) when you want the recording to stop rather than using the Time Record feature.

If that's the case I would be doing manual stops anyway. What made me ask was that one of the first things I did with Audacity was use the noise sample to make a file for audio speaker break-in. I thought that short sample length had to be adjusted. Because I didn't know any better, I took the short sample and put it on continuous loop (repeat) using VLC.
