I used to have an maudio audiophile 2496 audio card to which I had the tape or lp deck connected to, but a good soundblaster or any other audio card should do the trick. I basically used Audacity to record to WAV, and then Audacity again to fix and or enhance the file and then to encode to mp3. Mp3 as vbr 192 Kbps is good enough as you will not get better sound quality out of the analog sound source. Jean
