i have a cassette tape with some audio on, that i want to get on my computer as an mp3 so i can then burn it too a disk, so i will have the audio on cd other than cassette.

whats the easiest and quickest way to do this, i'm aware i will need wires to link things to my computer, but what and where does it all go? and what programs do i need?

thanx:happy:
 
Have a look at dbpoweramp. Make sure you get the correct plugins required. This thing has it all. (freeware)

Also try a search for polderbits. 15 day trial.

One end of the cable goes into the sterio & the other to line in on the computer.
 
I guess what goes where depends on what hardware you have, but basically you just need to run the audio out from your casette deck to the audio in on your soundcard. You may need an adapter if you do not have RCA inputs on your soundcard.

For this process, I use Acid Pro 3. You can download Acid Express from Sonic Foundry for free, but I am not sure what limitations it has. You may not be able to convert to mp3, if that is the case, you can use CDex for converting wav to mp3. Otherwise Acid will do it all.

With Acid you can record Side A and Side B of the cassette as two separate wav files and then go back and split each track. Acid is a little tricky to use at first, but you can download the manual for free if you need it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
