How to Capture Audio on a PC
Internet users listening to streaming audio or who find a sound, audio file, or song on a website might wish to record it. Capturing audio on a PC can be done fairly easily. Rather than hold a microphone to the speakers and only record in mono, with outside white noise, a PC user can record stereo quality sound without any interference. The audio can be recorded and saved on a PC to listen to at the user's leisure.
