One quite important point is to not record with your computer, but
to use some other form if possible. Most computers have fans that will 
make static noise in the background and thus will ruin the sound.
And if you are forced to record with the computer it would be better to 
be done with a proper sound card and not some build in chip with lousy 
protection.

Best would be a good mp3/wma/wav player that can record at least high 
quality mp3/wma. Even better if it can record wav or losless wma or 
flac.
