Hello to all;
                Looking for free Music Edit Software.  I am trying to input music from old cassette tapes and make them into MP3 files.

                                                                                                 Thank you in advance,
                                                                                                                                    Stan :tellme:

Audacity will do the job just fine. Leave a shoutout if you need help doing it.

Edit: You'll also need the LAME Plugin

Shades:
But you also need to connect the cassette player to the in-port of your sound card.

There is where for most people the problems begin. Is their audio equipment able enough or not? (this is a broad point and will require more info about the hardware and the exact requirements the copies need to fulfill) 

scancode is right about the software that one can use to create the MP3's though.

Not really IMHO. The only thing you need is audio card with input (digital or mic) and cassette player with output (most of them have it for speakers). Sometimes it needs a little bit of soldering.

It's not a quantum physics since I did it in more advanced mode*.

*) Connecting altogether: PC, cassette player (with CD), video camera (VHS), video player and video recorder (both VHS) and gramophone (Polish Unitra). Nothing burned :)

scancode:
OR a Walkman or cheap chinese knockoff, a $1.56 audio cable and a $3.40 USB Sound Card.

It. Just. Works. (also free shipping, yay :])
