I record into Cool Edit - doesn't do much for library classification, 
but the quality is good, the noise-reduction and EQ functionality is 
top-notch, and it's easy to edit.

Which should probably remain as buried as possible! I have most, if not 
all, of my WCAP material on cassette, recorded on the radio in the 
newsroom. Sadly, I made the mistake of scoping down "my" stuff, not 
realizing that what I should have been saving was the much more 
interesting BillO show around my newscasts...
