Hi Tessa. Your friend should consider GoldWave. This is a digital editing program which enables people like your friend to copy all his music collection, CD's, Tapes and Vinyl into his computer.
A demonstration of GoldWave can be downloaded from: http://www.goldwave.com/ and scripts for JAWS and GoldWave can be downloaded free from: http://jbauer.no-ip.org/ There is also a very good list for GoldWave users were your friend can get advice and support. I believe that GoldWave costs about £25. Another popular program is Sound Forge but this costs about £200. Here is what John Wilson has to say about Goldwave: For its price, GoldWave has an impressive array of audio creating, converting, special effects and editing features for digital music, analogue music and speech input. It can take digital audio from your CD drives and convert this to more than a dozen alternative formats such as WAV and compressed MP3, WMA and OGG Vorbis formats. It is also able to remaster and fix crackles, his and clicks on music and other sound files you record into it from external sources, such as from vinyl LPs, music cassettes, the radio and other sound sources fed into it via the jack plug on your sound card. As part of its standard installation it provides normalising and noise reduction Best wishes.
