[Blindtlk] Transferrincassettes to audio file

[Judy Jones]

One way I have done this, although maybe not the best, is played the cassette on the machine with a patch cord hooked up to the computer, and using a program called Total Recorder to record it into MP3.  It still sounds like a cassette recording, but at least you have the saved file.  I, too, would be interested in knowing what others did.

I gave myself the project of recording all the songs my sister and I used to have on 45 RPM records.  I made my list, then proceeded to find them on line and record with Total Recorder from there.  That is another way.

Subject: [Blindtlk] Transferrincassettes to audio file

My boyfriend is trying to help me reduce my clutter by transferring cassettes to audio file saving them on CDs. Yes the easiest solution is to just buy CD versions. Considering we have a zillion CDs to be burnt and want to use them up, what's the easiest way to do this with great quality sound? If there's a techno geek way to do this, I'm willing to pass it onto my boyfriend. I won't know what I'm reading, but he will. Theyre seems to be an easier way to do this then playing music through a cassette player and having the microphone hooked up to a computer record it. I have a GPX boombox with cassette and CD capabilities but don't think I can record to a blank CD. I think you can do that the other way around though – CD to blank cassette. 

Thanks for any help someone can provide.
