Keith Rubow's web site www.krubow.com has information on recording to MP3 files and using MP3
files at tape groups, links to software to do this, including a free
Winamp add-on written by Keith called Wplayer. Items for sale include
audio patch boxes for recording, and an RF remote control system to
control a media player such as Winamp so a tape group can be run from
