I use AUDACITY. It is FREE, Open source, and reliable.
Not share-ware or free-ware junk.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/a.../audacity-win-
1.2.0-pre3.exe?download (this is the 'unstable' pre-
release version, but it works great -- done many huge
projects with it at work.)
It is fairly easy to use. Just connect to your sound
card's line in, select LINE IN on the input menu of the
audacity program, and record away. (If you want to
record from the internet and can hear the sound from your
PC speakers, select AUDIO MIX as your recording source).
You'll have to play with the recording levels, but you'll
get it right!
To save it to a cd follow two steps. (1) Export the
recording (or a portion of the recording) to WAV. (2)
Then burn the WAV to AUDIO CD using your burning software.
It should auto-convert the WAV to CD AUDIO format.
Good recordings!
