Limewire's what I used, but it's dead now. It was shut down by the courts and the RIAA was recently turned down in its request to seek a trillion dollars in damages from the service (yes, a trillion - a ba-zillion being a non-legal number I guess)<br><br>> From: patimac@fastmail.fm<br>> To: inquisition@cfaj.ca; dronach@rogers.com; excursion@sympatico.ca; ralphandsue@teksavvy.com; bobward90@hotmail.com<br>> Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 23:34:45 -0400<br>> Subject: [CI] recording audio rounds<br>> <br>> Thanks for the info everyone .<br>> <br>> <br>> I've used Audacity and I have a Mac so I'm glad that works.
