Hello All
Audacity is very good free software that I use a lot for recording direct to a
computer from an external or internal mic and converting various audio sources
to mp3 (also using for other activities such as jigsaw listening).
You can find it at this url http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Cheers Dominic

Hi Cheryl,
I have converted cassette tape to computer (wav and then mp3) by using an old
walkman. All you need is a small 3.5 jack to jack lead. One end in the earphone
socket of your walkman, the other into the line-in on your PC. Use either 'sound
recorder' ( in accessories folder) or better software if you have it. Click
record on the PC and press play on the walkman.
Hope that helps!
Sam
