If Don's method does not work out for you - I have used a great
little recording program called "HarddiskOgg" available
at http://www.fridgesoft.de/harddiskogg.php for a number of years
to record classes that I attend using my PC using Skype. It is free
and works great to record most any audio that you may hear on your PC
"on the fly".
Hope this helps!
