A couple of 10 year olds - Audacity

[mantoid2]

The Audacity SourceForge website says that it can happen if the PC can't write the file quick enough, it suggests killing off processes etc. In my case I think I was overtaxing the system as I was also encoding to an Icecast/Edcast 320kbs mp3 stream ... :@}

Given that mp3 is already a heavily compressed format and the file sizes aren't really any smaller when zipped or rar-ed, I wonder if it is really worth zipping them up?
