Thanks Po`, I'll take a look at Audacity....added to the suite of programs that came with my Audigy 4 soundcard, and Nero Premuim 7, I should achieve some great results...
Some of the music is that old (like Moses plays harp on one track), it's a bit pop and crackly in places, so it'll need some tweaking, me thinks.
Most of the music I want to transfer to disc is mainly 60's stuff, some of it U.S. but mostly Brit stuff, and I've searched high n' low to find what I want on CD but it just isn't available. I'd often spend ages in a music store sifting through all their 60's and 70's compilation sets, and quite often I'd end up buying a whole 5 disc set just to get one or two songs.....well no more, seeing as the music bigwigs don't wanna put out the stuff I really want, I'll discify (is that a real word) it meself.
BTW, I bookmarked yer site as well

....couldn't bear tha missus to have good stuff that I didn't.
