Most excellent! Thanks. I already have music match, that's what I have been using to record mp3s and it had a "record" button<G> SO maybe I already have what I need under the hood. Just need the converters to hook up the cassette player. Again, thanks. You guys here always come through for me.

from Microsoft Windows Tip of the Day... "Automatic Updates So, you're sitting at your PC surfing and your computer suddenly begins to whirl and click; your modem comes to life and begins to download some files. What's going on here? Is it a virus? Hacker attack? Aliens? Most likely it is a feature of Windows that allows Windows to automatically scan the Microsoft Internet Update Web site for new updates and automatically download them to your PC. Sound nice? Well, if you're using a 56K modem and need every single bit, then having a download occur at an inopportune moment can be very annoying. To control this process, go to the Control Panel and select the "Automatic Updates" icon. In Windows Me, it's standard; in previous versions, it's not. If you have this icon, click it and it will open a dialogue box that will allow three options. The first option is the default, and is why you're getting unsolicited data. The second and third options give you the control. The second option will tell you if an update is available and allow you to control whether the update is downloaded or not. This feature is nice, but your system will still access the Web to see whether an update is available. The third option is my favorite. Windows will attempt no updating or scanning at all. You must manually go to Microsoft's Web site and download any updates. This gives you full and total control over accessing the Internet for updates to your system. If you're still receiving weird downloads without prompting after setting this option, then call SETI; aliens just might be at work."
