What hellosailor says is very true. Two USB soundcards that get recommended a lot on this forum are the Behringer UCA202 and the Edirol UA-1EX.

I don't think you'd save that much time recording direct to CD and doing the cleanup later in Audacity - versus record with cheaper deck into Audacity, clean-up if necessary and then burn to CD. So I would definitely go for the cheaper option (I also have a preference for pieces of kit that are rela...
