2 gigs is a pretty safe limit. OTOH I've seen that audacity requires a ton of disk space. Maybe your disk space is low without your realizing it? I did some editing last week and although i have plenty of space in /tmp where these were stored, I did a check and found it using over 2 gigs - many audio files. it seems audacity breaks the input into as many megabyte-sized .au chunks as is needed for what you are doing, and if you need undo's etc you'll need more than 2 gigs free depending on the size. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
