[Cialug] Audio recording on Ubuntu from cassette player or any other sound source?

[David Champion]

I have used gramofile a little for tranferring vinyl 
records to MP3.

It's a bit clunky to use (console based), and you have to do some trial 
and error before getting it to work very well. The thing I've had the most 
trouble with is getting the mixer settings just right... could be 
partially because I was experimenting with a machine with an utterly 
craptastic Via audio chipset. I have another with the nVidia soundstorm 
chip, which I plan on trying next time I have the motivation to do so.

Also... you may end up having to use audacity to do some cleanup - and on 
some albums I've tried, there's no pause between some of the songs (Led 
Zeppelin Coda, for example), so the automatic track detection doesn't 
work.
