Sound recording

[Sarah Reichelt]

Thanks Judy, I looked at Audacity, but I couldn't work out how to make
it record from a stream, instead of from a mic or line in.
But VLC looks like it will do the job.

I love this list - even if the answer is to use something other than
Rev, there are always helpful suggestions :-)

Cheers,
Sarah
