I use Audacity all the time, handy program. I use it for fades, eq and the like. I use CD Wave Editor for my splits and r8brain for dithering my audio recordings. I know all can be done in Audacity, but each program has a simple work flow and they are all free.

Doug, I'm not sure if it is because I already have Audacity installed on my PC, but I'm not asked to register anything or enter a key when I tried to download the zip file from here: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

There is no trial issues with the program, so once you have it installed, you're golden. If you have the ability to import your cassettes via your soundcard, you'll have no problems working with them with Audacity.

If you're interested, here is a link for CD Wave Editor:
http://www.milosoftware.com/en/index.ph ... cdwave.php

and r8brain:

As I said before, both are free. I think there's an option to buy CD Wave, but I've never done it and have been using the program for almost 3 years now.
