Hi, I want to copy my music cassettes to my hard drive and I would like to know what is the most basic sound card that will do this. Bearing in mind I don't want to pay huge amounts of money. If anyone could suggest a make maybe, I could buy on Ebay.
You will also need the software to do the recording. Audacity is free and will work:

Doesn't your system have a sound card? Any will do and then like mentioned use Audacity or any freeware program for recording to the HD. You will just need a stereo cord that goes from your stereo out to your stereo in jack on the sound card.

The soundcard on my motherboard is built in and doesn't have a line-in output.

Line in would be input. In any case just about PCI sound card made today sould have a line in. INPUT!

Sorry about the line in -output I meant Line in - input. You were right, as I have looked in my manual and I have Line in, line out & mic. I have managed to copy a small section of a cassette but when I play it back there is no sound.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong ?

What program are you using? Do you have a mono or stereo cable? Stereo would have 2 black lines on the connector.

Oh, make sure you don't have the line in muted!

Hi, All sorted. I am using the latest Nero software. The problem was, that I had the line in muted just like you said.
