I used to be able to select from many recording options, including wav files,
midi, Microphone, Line-in and What you hear. That way I could play a sound
file in one program and record it in another. What happened to that ability?

I use audacity to record "what you hear" and it is indeed missing, but
I have found that I can simply play the music using any player and start
recording, it with "audacity" and it works.I hope you have the same
luck, give it a try. If you don't have audacity you can download from
here
'Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder'
(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/)
You will need the "free lame encoder" if you want to save the music in
MP3.
Start Audacity" hit the record button start your song and go back to
Audacity and when the song is finished stop recording and then erase the
"blank" beginning and "export as" good luck, let us know how you make
out.

whatever you do DO NOT INSTALL SERVICE PACK 1 if you use audacity and hard
wire the sound out to sound in to record streaming music. service pack 1
removed that ability. so now it just records from the internal microphone
even if you run a cable from music out to music in. when i tried to revert to
my old windows version my computer crashed and spent 2 hours fixing itself
then THEN REINSTALLED THE UPDATES! service pack one is a install of no
return...
