Tomboy is an unknown quantity at this point
Hi,

I use CoolEdit 2000 to do exactly what you are asking about. I happen to run it under WXP, but I think it runs fine under W98. It has a built-in MP3 encoder that allows you to directly save to MP3 format. It has editing functions so you can mark, cut, and paste audio just like you would text. It is great for removing pops and dead space from audio. I occasionally use it to move music from cassette tape to CD or my MP3 player. All you need to do is run a cable between the audio output of your tape deck to the line-in port of your sound card. Next, check the advanced settings of your computer audio to make sure line-in is not muted and has a reasonable volume level. Thats it, your ready to start recording. One precaution, early on I used too high a line-in volume and it caused the recorded sound to be distorted.
