i am considering buying "record now9 music lab premier". i especially like that it converts analog into digital and i can record streaming web music. i also have windows xp with service pack 2. will i have a problem as i have had with ecd 5 platinum??

You shouldn't.V5 had a problem with Xp and SP2.
One thing to know is that recording streaming internet audio has a lot to do with your sound card.As long as it has the available inputs it will work.Many onboard sound chips have trouble with this.
