[sdiy] Sound recording program advice ???

Use sound blaster's recorder. It will allow you to record a long time and
save to wave.

Hiya all...

I want to record some old tapes from cassette to .wav using my sound
card.

Now this is a crippled legacy machine, 6X86-133MHz processor, and a 16
bit soundblaster clone card (AD1816 controller).  So I nned something
really
low in system overhead.

I can use the Win98 resident sound recording device to get about 28 sec
of glorious 44.1K 16 bit stereo, without glitches.  Doing this with some
of the
other programs I've tried causes terrible glitches, stuttering.

I'm looking for some reasonable freeware or shareware program... Nice if
it worked
with Exact Audio Copy, which I'm using now, but who cares ???

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope....

(replies that suggest I get a life / new machine will be greeted with
what we expatriates
of New York call a "Bronx Cheer" :^)
