Cassette tapes, however, will take more doing or may be impossible as I'm not sure what gadgets there are for that sort of thing. If they do exist, they won't come cheap and they certainly won't be very easy to use. |
While it's not the highest quality process, what I have done to record my old cassettes electronically is to run a stereo quarter inch line from the cassette player's headphone jack to the mic jack on my soundcard. I record it to a .wav file and burn that to cd. I also convert the .wav file to mp3 for my iPod, but the mp3 is a lower quality file than the .wav.
Low tech, but there was no additional cost involved and it is very easy to do._________________ “If you make less than $250,000 your taxes will not go up.

| There are some decent, and cheap, programs to help you transfer cassettes to CD by helping you remove tape hiss and other noises. Check into those. _________________  "I have no desire to speak w/other tongues, I already do enough damage w/the one I have!!" - Candlemass |

| I haven't sworn off physical CDs (just ordered an old Crumbacher, and picked up the new Cru), but I'll take my new stuff (whenever possible) in digital form.  |

Do you have any program names for these thingies? I've got a ton of tapes I'd love to change over to MP3s. |
