Okay,now that i figured out how to actually record properly [see my other thread to understand what i am talking about] i know would like to know if there is anyway that i could load all my songs on napster into one playlist and just play all my songs over night and have them recorded SEPERATLY like echsong gets its own file.

Re: Okay! New Question
Very tricky but doable, though I'd experiment with a small playlist file, of just a few files first.
You'd want to try to use the auto start and stop features of Aux Input. It would start recording when there's some signal above some threshhold and stop when it drops below that.
Or (and this may actually be safer and easier) if you know the duration of each file, you can set it up so tracks get recorded according to the duration and start and stop play positions.
It will create files named according to some scheme you define beforehand - default is track01 ...track99 or something like that.
I think I've tried all this at some time way back, satisfied myself it can work (with a lot of trial and error though) and then never used that again. I never have that many files to deal with in this manner to make it worth the trouble. I prefer to do them one by one. I've done about 25 once, took about 1.5 hours. It would have taken me at least that long just to set it up, test, tweak, repeat and rinse, and I might still have messed up and ended up having files overwrite each other or get appended.
Even easier may be to record one large file of all of them and then chop it using some wave editor program like Audacity. It depends of course how many such files we're talking here, if you're able to have one large wav file. -
Re: Okay! New Question
In theory this can be done, using auto-stop and auto-start features (for up to 19 tracks at a time, I believe). But these features can mess up in ways that tend to require re-recording.
If you want to try this, first start with trying to record a few tracks at a time. If you can get that to work flawlessly and you are confident of your results, then try more.
I think that if you want to record these all at once, I would recommend trying to record them as a single file and then split them. I would record first to wave, use another program to split the wave file into individual tracks and then convert the separate tracks to mp3. (Being a control freak, I would actually record each track separately, but that's me).
