Soundcloud apparently has a "maximum number of downloads" limit. This is moronic, because now I am motivated to listen to it over and over again on Soundcloud, instead of just downloading it once and being done with it.

Anyway. On my Windows XP machine I can use Audacity to record what I am hearing. Either Windows 7 or Audacity fucked this up. Is there a program everyone uses to do this?
I noticed that the record from sound device stopped working in one of the releases of Audacity, and I'm not sure if it's because of a change in Audacity or a change in the way Windows works after XP.

However, I just tried using Skype's "Sound Test Service" and Audacity 2.0.2 did record the call correctly. I'm running Windows 7 on a Quad Core 64 bit windows. Audacity shows in Task Manager as a 32 bit application. I'm going to try capturing BBC World Service which is sent over the Internet and see if it will capture that.

It does, but you have to disable all microphones, specifically if you have a web cam like I do that has a built-in microphone. Otherwise it merges both the output to the speakers and the input from the Microphone. The input is set to "Microsoft Sound Mapper Input" and that seems to work.
