[Electronics-talk] Digitizing Audiocassettes

[Drew Hunthausen]

Yes, that should do it. I'm not sure best buy would carry the cables, a
better place would be a place like radio shack, but if you don't have one of
those call best buy beforehand to see if they carry what you need. Good luck

Hi,
thanks. oh the microphone jack of the stream and the headphone jack on a
cassette player. did not think of that combo.
I believe if that is all you need, I can do it with the old stream then. I
assume I can get the chords from a electronics store like best buy, right?

Ashley,
I haven't done this myself with my stream, but I would think it is pretty
simple. I'm not sure what the cable is called, but it's just a standard one
that you would plug one end into the headphone jack on the tape player and
the other end into the microphone jack of the stream. The audio from the
tape player would be transmitted to the stream through the cord on to an sd
card just like an audio recording you made would be. These cables are very
common and cheap, I have a bunch of them I use with fm microphones I have
with my hearing aides. Let me know if you have any other questions, and it
also shouldn't matter whether you and the new or the old stream.

Drew

Hi,
But how does that work? can you hook your old cassette player up to the
stream?
What type of cable would you use? I have the old stream, so cannot do it,
but was curious. I've seen the new stream and it does have a usb port and a
sd card slot.
oOtherwise, no ports to connect things to.

I would suggest an easy way to do that would be to use one of the recorders
like the new victor stream, the bookport plus or the book sence to record in
mp3 along with a good cassette deck.

Hello, everyone.

I am looking into ways of getting material on audiocassettes converted to
MP3 or another suitable format.  Has anyone purchased special cassette decks
that will do so?  If so, are there any with accessibility features?  Am I
tied into using a particular program to do the digitizing?  Alternatively, I
realize I could use a conventional tape player to send the output of the
audio to my computer.  I am not familiar with using audio software, so the
simpler the recording package, the better.  I don't think I'll be doing a
lot of editing; I will just convert the tracks as they are.

Thank you for all help.

Craig
