Can I just go to Radio Shack and buy something that would let me patch my cheap tape recorder into my Mac or PC? If I accomplished that step, what software would I need to edit the audio tracks? QuickTime? Garage Band? Something else on the PC? It will depend on the Mac you have. Most Macs will have an audio input which is a single 1/8" stereo miniplug.  I digitized a lot of old tapes which were out of print and I went directly from the stereo RCA outputs of my cassette player to a 1/8 stereo miniplug I got at Radio Shack. Amadeus would work, but so would Garageband, which has a lot more sound modification options in it (Garageband 3). If you own Toast, you should also have an application which came with that which allows you to record from LP's and tapes and then split them into segments as you please. Amadeus will do the same thing. There is also a free MP3 editing utility, but I forget it's name--MP3 edit or something like that. If you don't have a sound input, then iMic is a good option--all it needs is a USB port. iMic also has software specifically for taking old tunes off of LP's and cassettes and then splitting them up. I got mine at Radio Shack for 30 USD.  Hope that helps! __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
