I'm learning how to convert cassette tapes onto my pc. Its going grand so far, after much striving. However, some terms that come up really confuse me as I don't have a clue what they are. A plug-in? Its not a kettle, I know, but what?

u see. a software usually has some functions. in your case the casette to mp3 converter. but unfortunately the developers of the software realized that they could add in some additional "goodies" but didnt do it when the software was realeased. so they create sort of mini programs and call it pluggins.
pluggins cannot function on their own. they need the main software. when u install it ur main software has some cool additional features. like for example give u the ability to upload songs directly into your ipod while converting it from a casette or something. so its basically something that enhances the functions of a software

Software that gets installed in your computer to make your program work or give an existing program more functionality. Like with Windows Media Player, you can download plug-ins from Microsoft to make the program have more features like sound enhancements, video enhancements, etc.

a plug-in is an addition to something. A plug-in for a software program is additional software that your current software can use to do new stuff.
