You can use the mic line-in or the Aux line-in on the back of your computer. Then use Sound recorder in your Programs, Accessories, Entertainment folder on WinME. Win NT and Win 98 also have this feature. As for the CD songs. You can use Windows Media Player with the new plug-ins and pull the songs right off your cd from the CD-ROM Drive. You can get these from Windowsmedia.com
Just a note I was able to record my favorite sound track from a VCR using these tools. Good luck

Better than Windoze Media are third party sw for cd ripping:
SonicBurn (Win shareware, $25 to buy, avail on ZDnet)
Audiograbber (Win shareware, 5 cows, $25 to buy - http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/ )
RipEnc (Linux GPL - http://www.bebits.com/app/94/)

Cakewalk, of course, does it all - from mike, from other source, convert, edit, multitrack - and is the best: http://www.cakewalk.com/ - the beginner's best bet is probably Cakewalk Express: http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/XP/XP8.html
$29.
