I have Audacity. I didn't realize it was as simple as plugging the output jack into the microphone socket. I'll give that a try -- with a different tape, first -- and see how it works. > Maybe I should add that this was purely so that I could listen to them on > my cd player, not to make anything like a professional copy.

The tape I want I've played as recently as two years ago and it sounded fine, so I think it's probably still in good shape. But yeah, I'll go ahead and take the precautions since it's my only copy. It has no commercial or archival value, just sentimental value to me. thanks mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
