I have my tape deck connected to my PC's line-in port, but Audacity's unstable release is unable to pick up the audio, though when I select the proper device and play with the volume control in the app, the audio does change.
What other mp3 capture programs do people use? My goal is to simply capture each side of a tape to mp3, then use Audacity to break each song to its own mp3 file.
Thanks.

would mplayer do?
A google search of mplayer audio recording reflects web streaming, not line/mic-level on a local pc.

Hmm...I wonder how mplayer records audio from TV capture cards then.
Anyway, let me see if I can get something from my mic.

audacity should be able to do it and is available from rpmforge.

My original message (above) says Audacity is not visually showing the audio line levels or wave form when recording, thus I am not convinced it is capturing anything.

Which probably is an issue with your sound configuration somehow ... I've had issues getting audio in to work with a couple different cards because it's sometimes difficult to get the right input selected. My Sound Blaster Live 5.1 has literally a dozen different input sources to select from, finding the correct combination was a bit of trial & error.

A google search uncovered alsamixer. I installed it, then playing with it and Audacity recovered the audio and I'm using Audacity now, along with lame for wav > mp3 conversion.
Thanks.

I agree. I had similar issues and after some trial and error with my sound configuration I got the audio inputs for Audacity to behave as expected. It only took 10 minutes of fiddling on my relatively vanilla SP Live card.
