UBUNTU 15.10 gnome3.16.2 Audacity shortcut recording

Post by clunga » Wed Dec 16, 2015 4:45 pm

Hi to everybody.
When listening to internet radios in Ubuntu, I often have the sudden wish to record a particular song. I have a keyboard shortcut to Audacity with a simple command: Audacity, to cut down time.
However I wonder if there is a way to launch Audacity automatically in recording status-
Thanks for your kind assistance.

No, but on Linux there are plenty of command-line options such as "arecord" and "SoX"
