Another nice and cheap piece of software is Microsoft's analog
recorder (around $15). Microsoft has a page that describes recording
cassettes onto the computer:

or

I've used it for both lps and cassettes with good results. The only
downside is that it records only in wma format. 320kps wma sounds
fine to me and is sufficient for my needs. Good luck,
