It depends on how much you want to program your own sounds verus leveraging pre-canned loops and samples culled from the songs you want to remix.\n\nI'm still a big fan of Acid --- Orignally from Sonic Foundry but now a product offered by Sony Music:\n\nhttp://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/acidfamily.asp\n\nAcid is excellent for working with loops -- it allows you to easily time-stretch loops and transpose them to work well with other loops culled from other sources.  A lot of what makes people love Garageband (Apple's entry-level music software) was first pioneered in Acid.  The main limitation of Acid is that it has limited or no support for the creation of your own original sounds and sequences -- it's more of a loop arranger.\n\nAnother outstanding application is Propellerheads Reason 3.0 (http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/) \n\nReaon gives you an entire virtual rack of synthesizers, samplers, and effects that you can intuitively connect with virtual patch cables.  Every knob is designed to be twiddled in real time and the best thing is that all these modifications can be recorded for playback or fine-tuning.\n\nFinally, a third application you might want to check out is Ableton Live (http://www.ableton.com/index.php?main=live)  Live is extremely popular among performing musicians today because it is optimized for live performance or on-the-fly creation/arranging of songs.  The application is a bit like Acid in that it is mainly intended for working with building blocks of pre-created loops (either instrument loops or sampled material) with an interface and workflow that makes it very easy to add, subtract, and tweak stuff as the rest of the song plays back.  \n\nBetween the 3 applications I'm sure you'll find something that work for you.  Best of all, you can download free trial versions of all applications to see for yourself.  Happy remixing!

i personally use copypod, which is shareware (you can only use it for a couple weeks before you need to pay), but i've heard that winamp can also copy your music back for for free (but i don't know how!)

This isn't really a wonderfully helpful answer, but there is a free program called Psycle that lets you use your computer as a virtual bank of synthesizers to create whatever music you want. Should be fairly easy to google it up.

Legal and FREE Stuff:\nhttp://music.download.com/\nhttp://www.garageband.com/\nhttp://www.purevolume.com/\n\nThese artists may not have air-time (and yes you do have to look for the good ones), but it is worth it if you are EXTREEMLY into music, plus it is an easy/cheap way to hear music you may have had no idea existed.

You can get AcidMusic Xpress (it's a light version of Acid Music Studio that's free).  You can use it to remix contests at http://www.acidplanet.com\n\nTo download AcidMusic Xpress click:\nhttp://download.acidplanet.com/acidxpress.exe\n\nIt's the only one I know that's absolutely free.  It has limitations, but it will at least show you what Acid Music is capable of.  \n\nYou can also download Fruity Loops:\nhttp://www.tucows.com/get/209204_156965\n\nFruityLoops is a fully functional demo.  I don't know exactly what you can't do in the demo, but you can at least play with it to see if you would like it.
