- I believe most of the 16-bit sound cards can do this.

- However, the problem with recording "CD quality audio" is that
- doing so uses up about TEN MEGABYTES of disk space for EACH MINUTE of
- recording. Recording a typical song will require 30-50 MB of disk
- space, which most people cannot afford. Also note that you need a FAST,
- UNFRAGMENTED hard disk to do this.
