Hi to all -
If I purchase an add-in card for my SBLive! Value that includes an optical digital input (ie: a live drive, etc.), will I be able to record music from my CD player (which has an optical digital output) in digital quality?
What I want to be able to do is program a list of songs to play from my 300 disc player, hit play on the cd player, record on the pc, and have it store the wav file(s) to my HD. When I try to record analog, I get pops, hiss, etc. This is what I want to avoid, along with having to find the cds in the player, manually record each track (at a higher, DAE speed, mind you), then replace the cds to the correct slot in the player.
Does my question make sense? Does anyone know the answer? Will the songs end up as one, 80 min wav file? 20 individual files (not likely, I guess)? How big is an 80 min .wav file???
TIA
JonTom
