The laptop should be capable of capturing the stream, but who knows? Is there a way to know for certain? There's also a chance that I had the levels too high which would have caused clipping. Hey, this is all new to me! I haven't tried to copy from one format to another in 30 years when I last copied LPs to cassette tapes. This is exactly the same but completely different. ;^)
I recorded the USB output of the JIL using Audacity in the laptop. I then exported the raw WAV file to my main PC and used MusicBee to play it. "Awful" is being kind. ;^) Thank you for the link. I'll review it immediately. I've got over 10,000 wav tracks in my MusicBee database and they all sound great. I created those by ripping my own CDs to lossless wav files using MusicBee. I gave up on Windows Media Player almost two years ago.
