Audacity is excellent freeware. I've been using it for a couple of
years. I've been transferring my LP's to MP3 files and it works
quite well. Audacity can even take a 78 rpm recording playing on a
33 rpm turntable and convert it to the correct speed with just a
couple of clicks. Noise reduction, click and pop removal are all
available.

Does it record in WMA format? If not, I'm sticking with I-Sound by
Abyss Media.

Now that is stupid, e.g. preferring to rip to a proprietary format.
Stick with mp3 and one's never stuck.

Why? MP3 format is much larger than WMA format. And I store everything
in WMA/WMV format because it is so much smaller footprint. And they sell
MP3 players and DVD players which handle WMA/WMV formats too. And since
anybody with Windows can play them, no problems whatsoever. Only Mac
andd Linux users would have a problem with them. But that is their
problem.

I found some features that its lacking that came with the discontinued
Mac OS 8 Sound Editor that I paid $100 for sometime ago. It still runs
in Classic on my iBook, but its not OSX native, and since Classic is a
non Unix based OS built for a different os and different hardware, I
have had some issues with recording audio. But its got some essential

features and effects that Audio city lacks.

Correction: I don't know what Audio City is, but; the reference is to
"Audacity". For an open source program, it is simply outstanding.

but for my PC laptop I may need to download this app. My PC Laptop is
running Windows 98.

Give GoldWave (including older versions - actually I'm not even sure the
latest runs on '98) a look, too.
