A friend of mine would like to transfer his old cassette tapes into his computer. Unfortunately, since I'm a mac user, I'm not too familiar with any PC recording software. Pro Tools Free won't run on Windows XP. Any recommendations? Thanks.

last time i looked musicmatch had a feature for using soundcard inputs to create mp3's from an analog source. there was free or cheap version at one time. [[url=http://[/URL]="http://www.musicmat…"]Musicmatch[/]="http://www.musicmat…"]Musicmatch[/]

You didn't say what soundcard your friend has but I did just that on my old computer with a SoundBlaster. Just use an adapter from the headphone out on the boombox or stereo outs from the hi-fi system and plug that output source into the 'soundcard' stereo input. My SoundBlaster came with 'recording' software. The quality of the result will depend on the soundcard hardware.
Hope this helps or a least gets him started,
