[Linux4christians] Audio tape to MP3 ideas

[Mike McMullin]

  I'm looking at taking a 10 year catalogue of Sermons on Cassette Tape
and turning them into .mp3 files and archiving them on DVD's.  The OS'
involved will be both Linux and Windows (various flavours according to
the volunteers involved), and I was sort of figuring Audacity as the
common software of choice for all involved.  So my first question is,
has anyone dubbed from a tape source to an .mp3 file, and can you offer
some pointers?  Second is setting up a digital catalogue, I had been
thinking Tellico, but it is too strongly tied to KDE, and the office
system _will_ remain Windows.  I'd like a simple app that a 50+
non-power user can be comfortable getting info from, and that the
non-techs can feed new info into that will work under both Windows and
Linux.  The idea is to have the db of info on one box, but used by both
the office and the sound techs.
