Re: [PLUG] linux sound recording

["Jason Wertz" <JWERTZ@dccc.edu>]

If all you're doing is basic recording on the line-in jack I would look
at the command line tool sox (sound exchage). It is not the friendliest
thing at first but I use it in some shell scripts with cron to automate
recording NPR shows during the week...I just leave the radio on and
hooked up to the sound card, really low tech. I pipe the output through
lame to get smaller files. It works great and supports a ton of formats.
Depending on your distro it's probably already installed.

Does anyone know of any good sound recording software for Linux?  A friend 
of mine wants to convert some of his tapes to CD, and I said maybe I could 
bring my laptop over to his place and plug his rec out into my laptop's mic 
in.   My laptop is running redhat 9.  I searched the web for sound recording 
software for Linux and found nothing good.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Michael
