I've been doing that Mike, and it takes forever! I recorded at least 8-10 hours on each disc, so I just let it run in Audition, and use the timer record feature if I'm not around. I actually found a plug in on the internet from some guy in England, but did not download it yet.<P ID="signature">______________
