  worked for me. one thing you may need to do is double click your volume to bring up the mixer, change to properties for recording, and check "stereo mix" instead of "microphone"

  To shorten the process, there's a freeware program called "Step Voice Recorder" that doesn't have a length limit and automatically saves the recorded file to MP3.
  
  Another alternative is to use Audiograbber's Line In Sampling which can automatically splits the files so you can just start your playlist and let it run.

  Works very well once you get the settings right.
  
  Open your volume control and goto Options => properties. Select Recording and click the Mono Out checkbox. Now bo back to the volume ettings and check the 'select' box under Mono out. Lower the volume to the second to last tick. Then play your file and you should get a good quality copy.

  Perfect! Thank you! Make sure and read the earlier comments - getting the setting correct in the Volume Control box is key. Works great! :)

  Thanks for this information.
  
  I just bought a tune i really liked, only to find out afterwards that i had to d/l and install Win Media 9 to play the bloody thing, then that was the only software i could play it on...
  
  Fk that!
  
  Very valuable information...
  
  I would reccomend the Audacity route.
  
  I also had to loop the output from my soundcard into the line input on the soundcard with a cable.
  
  Thanks!

  I have a Creative Audigy 2 ZS soundcard, it came with many apps. One is called Wavestudio. I can just download a track I like, launch the Wavestudio, hit record, then play the track with whatever player I want. Stop the recording when the track is over, do a file ---> save as, set the file type as MP3, type a name and click save. Makes any type of file protection Napster encodes on their music files totally obsolete. Also works with recording any music streams on the net.

  This process doesn't have to be this complicated. Just burn the songs you want onto a CD in Napster, and re-rip them as mp3 or wav, or whatever.
  
  If you don't want to waste CD's, just get a CD-RW disc and re-use it each time. I've done this with Napster & iTunes for a while now...
  
  BTW, this did work for me. I just figured i'd test it out anyway...
