[Blindtlk] Transferrincassettes to audio file

[Ericka]

Thanks everyone for such wonderful advice! I don't nothing about patch cords except what the guy at Walmart told my boyfriend yesterday. These guys knew what they were talking about. Your advice is wonderful and I will pass this along to him. Especially thank you for the suggestions of using audacity and the more current Victor Stream. My boyfriend has the more current Victor so we will try that probably. 

Will let you know how things go and if anyone has some more suggestions keep them coming!

They use an opensource program called Audacity to make the transfer. Once it is all conneccted it funtions with very lttle attention.

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.
