Can anyone reccomend any good free software to make MP3s
out of vinyl, minidisks, old tapes etc..?

Thanks kids!

I demand this thread be stickied. Good question as i have
often times wondered about this myself (without losing sound
quality)

Sound Forge 4.5. Get it cracked.
My method is buy a huge 3Metre cable from my stereo, into my
microKORG into my Numark mixer, into my PC and Sound Forge.

Personally I use goldwave and wavelab, but they're not free.
Audacity is freeware and does about the same job.

You connect your audio source's line-out to your soundcard's
line-in, use the audio control panel in window (assuming you
are using windows - for mac if it were me I'd give up) to
set the line-in recording level, and record in audacity
while playing your audio source.

The recording level needs to be set so that the recording
isn't really quiet or produces loads of hiss if normalized,
but no so loud that is distorts ("clips").

Once recorded you can save the file to a wav (for future
editing and burning to CDR), trim off the start and end
silences, apply filters and save as mp3.

The shorter is the cable, the better the sound will be
