TW, if you go to their site, in the upper left hand corner is a Site Map link. Click on that and the second link on the site map is for the "Total Recorder Feature Chart - This chart provides a quick reference showing the features that are available in each version." It also shows the available options.
Thanks for the info. I downloaded the trial version of the basic software. I haven't had too much time to play with it. One problem I'm having with both it and the full free version of Audacity is that I am only getting Mono sound, from the left channel. I don't understand what is going on. I need to eliminate a few variables.

Either a) my kids messed up the stylus on my turntable which was sitting within reach of their mitts for a few years, or b) my amp is messed up. The balance knob doesn't seem to work right, so this might be the real culprit. I could hook up our other amp from the living room, but that would be a MAJOR project to pull it out of the cabinet and disconnect all the cables. or c) the Dell Dimension 8400 I have uses a cheap mono line in instead of stereo. Can't find any info on this in the documentation that came with the PC.

So I need to do some testing to figure out what's going on. The good news is that I've used both the Total Recorder trial version and Audacity to capture a bunch of mono test tracks. Total Recorder is easier to use without reading the instructions.
