How do I record audio on OSX?

[jj4 at sympatico.ca]

Great little FREE program called Final Vinyl.  You should find it on 
versiontracker.com.  It works in OS10.2.x and I have not tested in 
10.3.  That's your task for now.

It had a few minor problems - all to do with editing a large recording 
into many pieces.  Better to record 3 or 4 songs and edit than to try a 
whole LP.  6 songs seems to choke up when you edit and can crash,  but 
on the whole it is an excellent program once you are used to the 
limitations and quirks.  It' s free.
