Hi, Bonnie,

Whenever I need to record something I use Musicmatch Jukebox. I can record MP3s directly from the microphone or from any other source including another player on the PC. It burns CD's as well converting the MP3 format to CD format as it goes.

I'm starting to experiment with other tools including Audacity (mentioned above) and a CD creation program called CDRDAO that uses Disk-At-Once (DAO) recording and gives one more control over the final product. I'm just beginning to try these out, however, and don't really make any recommendation yet.
