So you want to take music off records, CDs or cassettes and take them into the digital age? Once you get your player connected to your computer, you'll need software to record it all. Here's where my favorite free audio editor comes in.
It can record live audio; convert tapes and records into digital recordings or CDs; edit Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and WAV sound files; cut, copy, splice, and mix sounds together; change the speed or pitch of a recording and much more.
Audacity works with both Windows and Mac. It is a robust enough to handle even the most complex jobs.
