Jim Opfer -> What to do with Tapes? (Oct. 12 2003 16:55:09)

For years I bought albums on cassette tape. Now I don't have a reliable tape player and I miss out on lots of stuff I used to listen to.
Can anyony advise how to convert these to CD, is there software out there or is it just a matter of using a mic.
Surely there must be a better way?
Help!
Jim.

Record each track via Line In or Mic In on your sound card and converting to MP3 or WMA is probably the best route.

You can rip MP3 to audio CD format with Windows Media Player 9 or many modern CD players support MP3.

The sound recorder that came with your sound card should do it e.g. Creative Recorder.

Or try http://www.audio-mp3-recorder.com/mp3-wma-recorder/mp3-wma-recorder.htm looks pretty good for $29.95 and has free trial version.

You'll have to fill in the MP3 tags yourself for album, track and artist but this will stay with the file forever.

Yes , if possible use the Line in , it will be alot better quality than trough mic. all you need is one of those Av ( think thats the name) cables.

It is so much better having it on your pc because a tape loses quality everytime u play it, not to mention u can do whatever u like to a mp3, wav file eg, make it louder, clean up noise.

Thanks Simon and Florian, I'll check it out.
Cheers
Jim.
