I have a couple of old tape cassettes that I would like to convert to digital (.wav or similar) to store in my computer. I was wondering if anybody could recommend a good software package.
Thanks.

Creative has the best sound cards and the software is about the easiest to use. However I don't think it would work with other hardware or integrated sound devices except Creative.

Here is a link that can help get you started.

Most of the information you are going to find on the web is going to be targeted to recording from LPs rather than tapes. The basic techniques are still the same.

Check your CD burning software. Many come with some form of audio capture tools.

For other software, my preference is the Voyetra software packages from Turtle Beach.

For that matter, from a sound recording aspect, dollar for dollar, Turtle Beach sound cards outperform Creative and most other cards. For top quality audio recording, there are a number of studio quality audio input cards.

I myself would never use on on-board sound system for recording. They just don't have good input circuits or A/D converters.
