recommend a program for importing analog audio...from cassette?

I can only share what I use, which is AUDACITY.

I'm finding it easier to export as WAV and let iTunes convert the music files to AAC.

Thank you, though

Excellent little program. I'm very satisfied with it. The only thing that would push it over the top is if when I move my cursor over a button a description would pop up.

Thanks, again
