How do I record my old cassettes onto the harddrive of my computer? I am
running Windows Vista on my lap top. I have tried connecting the "phones" on
the cassette player and the front mic on the laptop and so far, its not
working. I found the workshop on the Windows page, but it talks about a
program called Plus! Analog recording which I cannot find on here. Help!

The Plus! programs were for XP, and have been discontinued. I have some of
them installed, (but not that one) and they do work in Vista.

You might try the free Audacity program...

Vista includes Sound Recorder...
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...fc7c61033.mspx

but it's very basic and only saves in .wma format.

Well, I did download audacity and the music will play but the distortion is
terrible. I must be doing something wrong...

Probably becuase you are taking a line out into a mic in, you need to use
the line in port of your sound card.
