Try Audacity
if you want free. You may have to hunt down
some add-in filters.

Also, a good, cheap choice for getting the
audio into your Mac is the Griffin iMic 2.
It comes with a RCA-to-1/8" jack and then
plugs into your USB port (bypassing the
soundcard). I use it on my Mac Mini with
great success.

I haven't tried it yet but I bought an ADSTech
"Instant Music" device with cables at CompUSA.
I think it was around $20 if I remember right.
Anyway, it converts line level audio into a
USB-compliant signal and comes with some sort
of software AND is Mac compatible as well (I
am PC-based, though). I have about 400 old
vinyl albums/12" singles plus another 100+
7" 45's and a Sony direct drive turntable,
plus a Discwasher manual cleaning set-up. I
don't have a ton of interesting (Exotica-
wise) stuff (the soundtrack to "Hawaii Five-
O" being an exception) but do have a LOT of
old Doc Severinsen LP's on the Command label
that I want to burn to CD. Should be able to
get more info on http://www.adstech.com if
you want it.
