My mom got a CD writer (??) for her birthday and my father is going on a technology binge; I know very little about computers and music but I told him I would try to help. They are hoping to save some of their out-of-production recordings before the originals wear out completely.

Does anybody have any information on converting analog music (tapes and records) to digital (CD's)? Is this possible? What kind of software does it take? We're completely new at this so any info, no matter how basic, would be helpful.
