Ron, The really wonderful thing about Audacity is the programmers keep the program entirely familiar. I started with an earlier version and have never had a problem making Audio Books or Podcasts with subsequent upgrades. Then again, I have to qualify this with I'm sighted and I've never tried to record music from a turntable. Hey, if the new version of Audacity is in a different folder, try it. You can always use your control panel to remove it. But I'm betting you won't. Each upgrade gets better than the last. Judith ________________ Hi Dave. I've been thinking about upgrading or at least using 2 versions of Audacity. However, I think it might get confusing when learning the set up.
