Can anyone here help me with a freeware link or a sugestion? I have a jam track me and a friend did that's on tape... I have a cassette player, a double ended 1/8" jack cable, and an audigy... I just wanna get this in wav and mp3 format, burn to cd and upload it onto a friend's webspace...

Great audio editing program.

Just hook the jack from the casset player headphone jack to the Audigy's mic or input jack, run goldwave and use the record function. I think you just have to go to the volume settings in the control panel, make it show the recording options, select the mic\line in (which ever one you plugged it in to), then in goldwave create a new sound file (make it long enough to fit the whole song), then just hit record, play the tape and stop it when its done... you can save in any format and quality, though you might need the "Lame" encoder for .mp3s... I think the link for that is on the Goldwave site as well.

Let me know if this works for you :)

Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is really good as well ... I use that for recording from the radio (did a symphony program off NPR), cassettes, streaming audio, whatever. And it's cross-platform. Good stuff!

Another vote for Audacity. Open source, free, and very functional.

Musicmatch can record direclty in MP3 with any bitrate including variable (if your PC is powerfull enough) or wav format and then it can even burn ti CD. Not sure all this is available in the demo version, so you might need some effort to find a "patch".
