Once booted, it seems intermittently slow - nothing I can point at. I don't think I have too many programs running in the background, at least I haven't added anything in a while. There is 13G free space on a 30G HDD. Copying albums to CD has been put on hold. I have been using WinMX to make anthology CD's. So I'm happy with this process so far. I still have your detailed notes. I believe the problem was in the settings, too high recording volume.
