Hi Dane. I don't know how much memory you have, but my experience tells me that the more ram you have on one of those netbooks for that sort of thing the better. Goldwave should not pose much of a problem, but you might get more stability if you could make sure the processor priority is lower than normal for intensive operations like batch processing. In cases like that, I also like to terminate the windows explorer process to give the computer more resources to work with. To do this
1. Open the task manager with Control+Escape. 2. Control+Tab until you get to the Process page. 3. Look for the Explorer.exe process and tab to the End Process Button. Press it and confirm. 4. Close the task manager. Ending the explorer process will get rid of your desktop and start button and system tray access, as well as any hotkeys like control+Alt+J for launching programs. However, you can still Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab to cycle between programs, and Control+Escape will still open the Task Manager. To restart the explorer process: 1. Open the Task Manager again as above. 2. Since the Processes Tab was your previous page, Control+Shift+Tab to get to the Tasks page. 3. Alt+N to start a new task. 4. Type "explorer" without the quotes and press enter. The Explorer process will come back again. This procedure should work with no problem if you happen to lose your screen reader, heaven forbid.

Anyone out there used audio editing software on an Asus EEEPC Netbook, have you found any problems or issues I should be aware of before going down this road? I probably won't bother with Sound Forge but I'll certainly be giving Goldwave a try not to mention the Winamp player and Total Recorder.
