So, when I have acquired a Behringer UCA202, I will
investigate some of the packages recomended in this
thread. Thus far the folks here have given me an
education. :-)

Go to google and find the web site for Audacity. It's freeware and really
pretty good.

I'll second the recommendation for Audacity. Dunno if it has
direct-CD-burning capability, but your laptop already has the burning
software, so all you need to do is capture to 44.1kHz/16-bit/stereo
WAVs, do whatever editing you desire, and burn the files via your
burning software.

I can't quite understand the hype around Audacity. I guess my computer is
just so slow that it reveals the bugs. On a 1GHz processor though, it cannot
actually record sound without dropouts and glitches. Once those glitches are
in the data stream, it cannot write out to a .wav file that will write to
a standard audio CD.


I've tried it but its not a patch on Cool edit and nowhere near as
intuitive, but then again nowhere near as expensive
