I record to .wav, normalize using "normalize", and encode as ogg with "oggenc". Sounds great. > is > there a faster way to do the process than just play the tape and record? No. This is not a gramofile limitation, this is a limitation of the analog cassette format. Even pro quality cassette to cassette duplicating machines should be not be run at faster than playback speed if you want the highest quality sound. If you are willing to sacrifice quality, I suppose you could record to .wav at a higher than normal speed (you'll need to find a cassette deck with a high speed dupe function) and later stretch out the .wav's time scale, but methinks that you'll sacrifice a lot of quality to save a little time. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Cop�n, Honduras http://srcopan.vze.com/ -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Cop�n, Honduras http://srcopan.vze.com/
