Thanks. Any other software that'll do this? Is Nero available online?

True, but doesn't it still limit you to 60 seconds recording
time unless it's hacked somehow?

OP might even have a suitable audio program on the CD that
came with his motherboard... but I don't recall what it'd be
named.

I didn't think I had mentioned a cable. I'll re-read. Nope, no mention of a
cable. To which cable were you referring?

You lost me, or I lost you. Whatever, I am just trying to burn a CD of
what is playing on my stereo system, be it a record, tape, or the radio.
I have been successful in getting this audio to the computer so that it
plays through the computer speakers, but apparently I need some sort
of grabbing software to get the audio to the CD burner. A couple of
respondents have mentioned software suitable for the task.

Burning CDs from CDs isn't the problem. I have numerous programs
to do that. Burning CDs from non CD (and non PC) sources is the
dilemma.

CD drives generally have a 4-pinned audio out on them, that will out an
analog audio signal when an audio disc is being played. You can run
that line into your sound card (or motherboard if you have an integrated
sound card,) to make use of it.

It turns out that the computer can quite easily produce a signal by
reading the digital data off of the disc, instead of having to rely upon
the CD drive to make a digital-to-analog conversion.

.... but only time will tell if music labels try to interfere
with this.

That connection is made with a special cable and should be standard on
any build. If not the user can get the cable from almost any supplier
- some will even give it to you free if you are a good customer.

I use Soundforge. I was told that it is a very popular application. It
does everything I want to do.

I thought Cakewalk is MIDI application.

Yep, most editors are overkill for simply recording an
analog input but you never know what features might be handy
while they're available- and recording itself is usually
fairly straightforward.

The above is *not* the problem. Drive output is fine. Problem *was*
getting burner to recognize analog audio from another source. Solution
is apparently an audio grabber.

Motherboard has AC97 audio onboard. System has many Creative
files, but attempting to open them results in the infamous "CTIntrfc.dll
not found" dilemma. I don't want to address that minefield. I will try
both Nero and Audacity, and others.

Hey,
I am very sorry to say I can’t help you anything because I don’t have
any idea that you want. I use a great 'CD duplication' (http://www
easymultimedia.co.uk) service provider when I need to make lot of copy
of any particular CD and it works very well for me. You can get lot of
copy of your CD in short of time. I hope you will help you.
Good luck!
