Thanks nchBen. I checked the source (Rhapsody/Napster). The single file that was 9 hours long was created when I had clicked on an icon containing a picture of a circle that turned on a little "1" on the perimeter of the circle. I thought this would cause the playlist to go through only one cycle. Playing this 9 hour long file reveals it played the same song about 180 times. After I clicked the picture of a circle so that "1" was removed from the perimeter, and played the playlist, songs were recorded to separate files.

I'm new to SoundTap and am using version 3.00. Last night I recorded from a source that streams tunes. The first time I recorded from that source, SoundTap automatically broke the tunes into separate files of 2-4 minutes long. The second time I recorded it produced a giant 9 hour file. I did not change the configuration. No idea why it did this. I would prefer for SoundTap to automatically break the tunes into separate files whenever there is a 2-3 second silence. Anyone know what twiddle or tweak causes this to happen ?

SOLUTION FOUND These were my initial settings, that did not work Case 1: DID NOT WORK SoundTap Options > Recordings Folder> C:\Users\Bob\Music SoundTap Options > Sound Input device: Wave(Asus Xonar DG Audio Device) Find and Play Recordings>Recording> All options grayed out Find and Play Recordings>Play Options>Sound Play Device> S/PDIF Pass-through Device (ASUS Xonar DG Audio Device) Windows sound playback set to - S/PDIF Pass Through Device (ASUS Xonar DG Audio Device) Windows sound recording set to - Wave (ASUS Xonar DG Audio Device

[1] Today I downloaded and installed SoundTap. My computer is a Lenovo desktop running Win 7 pro, and is using an ASUS Xonar sound card. Sound Tap correctly recognized the card. I started SoundTap and the status window indicated "Successfully connected to driver". However I did not receive a message in the status window indicating that audio streaming had started and after many tries have still not succeeded in getting that message. Whenever I try to record, I get the message "Waiting for an audio stream to record". [2] In the Options window I selected == Recordings folde

I deleted this post because I think it's better to start a new thread.
