Hello Leemurray2007. I use a program called WavePad to record, de-hiss (Noise Reduction), and equalize music from cassettes and get remarkable results. The same program can also largely reduce clicks and pops from vinyl records. The program has a free version you can try out and use forever if you wish. I did get the paid for version and use it almost daily. Digital music need not be deadly. Enjoy! I get audio books from thrift stores and digitize them for use on long trips.
