Garbled and skipping recording playback.

[Perk]

Hi all,

I've been having trouble converting my 33's to .wav format. The
playback starts out well but, in a little while, it begins to skip and
become all garbled.

Do I have something set wrong ? A resource problem ?

I'm using Audacity and/or Audio Grabber. Also tried Goldwave (I
realize it's not ideal for my system though).

I run W-98 on a Compaq 1200 laptop.

Thanks much,

Perk (:>)

There was a thread a few days ago where someone was having problems using Total
Recorder 4.5 to copy CDs. The songs would sound fine at first, but at the same
exact point in each song, the playback quality would become staticky. Turns
out that the unlicensed version of Total recorder 4.5 has some kind of built-in
"spoiler" that only lets you record the first minute, then intentionally
garbles the sound. Allows you to test the software for free to see if you like
it, but renders it unusable without paying for the licensed version.
Could Audacity and Audio Grabber contain such a "spoiler" in unlicensed
versions, or are they freeware? Just a thought...

Or it is just an ancient laptop, runnning outdated windows 98 (for this
demanding application).With my celeron 2.4 and windows 2000 running AV rack
the result was as good as the original.
