I recently had to transfer a privately made LP to cassette - fun
getting the scratches out.


Audacity and a lot of patience will do that.


Much more fun to transfer to 1/4" and cut the clicks out with a razor
blade. Done it lots of times. ;-)


Yes, I've done it that way in the past. I don't look forward to going
back to it. In Audacity you can choose to interpolate between the two
samples that are "good" which keeps the timings the same and is
inaudible to most - I'd say all - listeners. YMMV because you know how
to do it professionally and I just **** about trying to rescue the vinyl
and shellac recordings that I don't want to lose.
