I have a stack of old rave, d&b and techno tape packs that I want to rip before shoving the lot in to storage. Whats free and or the best way of going about it.?
I have a tape deck with a line out and a shite load of space on a hard drive, I just need some software.

Cheers.

Anything can be had for free 😈

Torrents?

Audacity will record from line in (and much more);
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Although, if you’re on a windows PC there usually an application called Sound Recorder in the Accessories section of the Programs menu. Having said that though, it’s very basic, you’d get more options with Audacity.

I reckon this should meet your needs.

Audacity

I was slow by seconds there.

Another (redundant) vote for Audacity.
