Carol, this set of tutorials from the 1.3/2.0 manual will give you some good instructions on this process: http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Tutorial_-_Copying_tapes,_LPs_or_minidiscs_to_CD In particular this one: http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Recording_with_USB_turntab...

No it doesn't clean the Registry, your !.2 preferences are carried forward to your 1.3 installation the first time you fire it up (it ignores the registry after that - unless you delete the audacity.cfg file, the Preferences file. You can get instructions on gow to "carefully" clean the re...

What to use for playback? I do not like Windows Media Player It depends on what you want. Foobar2000 is pretty lightweight but supports virtually all known audio formats.
