one way to remove fuzziness is to record with an eyetoy. (it is for ps2) you can get it at walmart for 25 bucks. and u may have to adjust the speed cuz if ya dont ull sound like the chipmunks.

You can filter out noise, go to effect menu, than click on noise removal. It works really well, just make sure to preview it.

Cool, but I wouldn't exactly call this a "hack" Great job

Its a cool trick, but I consider programming and soldering and modding "hacking" Still, its pretty cool (i use audacity and I didn't know this)

If you set a ClocX alarm to launch your browser tuned to a radio station, then you could set Audacity to record your favorite radio programs. I've used Audacity for years and always wondered why nobody ever made a way to record radio like we can record TV with Media Center. I guess I had the tools all the time and never knew. THANK YOU. I had to teach my daughter that Garage Band was not the only software available to make podcasts. I find Audacity easier to use than GB but that could be my experience with A and basically none with GB. Certainly exporting to your favorite format is easer with Audacity.

Cool! I wish there was a way to hide audacticy when it is recording. Anyone know how?
