Hello List:

     I saw the following and thought anyone wanting to digitize taped 
material might find it useful.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone

> Some of you may find this interesting or useful. I wrote this program to

> cassette tape digitisers.
>
> Digitise the tape in any standard stereo tape digitiser and you will get a 
> set of audio files one for each side of the tape. Save these in their own 
> directory and then run this program with a command line of:
>
> perl -f [path to this program] [path to audio files]
>
> The program will correct the speed of the recording break out the tracks 
> and create a tracks directory with the four tracks for each tape at normal 
> speed with the tracks reversed that need that done.
>
> This program requires that you have the Sox audio processor installed in 
> the computer running it. As well under window you will need the Perl 
> programming language installed. I suggest Strawberry Perl for this.
>
> If anyone would like this program please contact me and I will email you 
> the Macintosh, Windows and Linux versions.
