Windows is a small applet called
Sound Recorder. (Windows 98SE C:\WINDOWS\SNDREC32.EXE 108KB) It can record anything that you hear on your system. It can record in radio quality to CD quality. The quality control is under the File+Properties (select the Recording format). Fiddle around with this applet to learn how to make it record what you want how you want it.
If the recorder does not appear to record then you'll have to go to your system's
Volume Control applet recording interface (Options+Properties) and make sure that the Stereo/Mixer is the device selected for recording from, many systems default to the microphone.
Peace, the anti-Bush.
