Win XP

I am looking for software that will allow me to
record audio onto a laptop.

Can then save / burn to whatever.

Need not be fancy.

Any ideas appreciated ...Ian

When you say "onto", do you mean from an external source ?

We occasionally have a guest speaker who we
would like to record for future use.

My idea is to use a laptop, which hopefully we
can obtain for the right price. Hence the software.

Another alternative put forward was tape.

Any further ideas ...Ian

All you have to do is record the meeting with a standard cassette recorder.

Then, all you need is a cord to connect the speaker output on the recorder to
the microphone in jack on the computer (any computer, including the one you're
using now).
Like this:

Then you launch "Sound Recorder" which is built in to Windows (Programs ->
Accessories -> Entertainment -> Sound Recorder.

Is this clear before I continue?
