I am trying to record some old tapes/records to my computer so I can put them on CD. Problem is my computer does not have enough memory so crashes after about 15mins of recording. What I'd like to know is there a recorder program that records straight to hard drive instead of into memory first.

Thanks

Perhaps you should advise what hardware and software you are running. Something is not right.

I am using a compaq laptop 256mb ram connected to an external soundblaster extigy (which by the way is brilliant) and using its supplied sofware called creative wave studio

Thanks

It should create a disk file, and simply use RAM as a buffer, periodically writing the memory cache to the disk file (every few seconds most likely)

What is the actual error you are getting?
What operating system (Version of Windows)?
