Gidday right back to ya.

As someone mentioned, you need to use "stereo mix" as an input. You can also 
change the sample format and sample rate to improve the sound quality.

I liked his instruction too. I used the free plug-in for firefox that lets 
you capture them as .flv files and save them to your hard drive. There are 
lots of .flv players, I use the free one at the bottom of this web page 
http://applian.com/flvplayer/?src=VideoDownloadPlay

Playing them for audacity from your hard drive eliminates any possible 
network dropouts.

I even made an html file and cut and pasted the (info) into it to make it 
easier to pick out which one (video) to play. Anyone that wants it can have 
a copy at http://members.cox.net/dmurray777/data/index.shtml just right 
click the AdamGussow.html link then save as to the directory on your 
computer where your .flv files are. The format is easy to see in a text 
editor so you can keep it up to date as you download more lessons. Assuming 
that there will be more.

Yes, I like his lessons.

Peace and music,
Dave
