Re: [AI] How to convert the audio cassettes in to MP3 CD's?
Hello Friend, GoldWave is the finest programme that I know for this purpose. The best thing is that it is completely blind-friendly and can be handled with the keyboard. Audio tuitorials are also available for this software, through which we can learn how to operate the software. - - - Ashik Hirani Mo. 9428855867 Mo. 9824894941 I would rather suffer defeat than have cause to be ashamed of victory. - Original Message - From: "govind reddy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, September 29, 2008 10:36 PM Subject: [AI] How to convert the audio cassettes in to MP3 CD's?

Re: [AI] How to convert the audio cassettes in to MP3 CD's?
When i bought that cord about 3 years or so, i looked for a wire having 2 pins for stereo output (headphone purpose) jack and computer line in jack. i got the cord. Please you ask the shop-owner for the same, and if required, tell your purpose also for such cord. You may find this guide useful: http://www.sticksite.com/tape2cd/index.html Regards.

Re: [AI] How to convert the audio cassettes in to MP3 CD's?
Hi, as we know, each recorder has an earphone, from where the audio is been sent out. One of the plugs of the cable is connected to the recorder instead of the earphone, which will be connected to the PC, where we usually connect the mike. Hence, the audio will be output from the recorder and will be input in to the PC. Now, as I have mentioned about Goldwave software, it has a special settings by which you can set the quality of your recording. Hope my information is useful, if any errors, I request our friends to correct me.

Re: [AI] How to convert the audio cassettes in to MP3 CD's?
Thanks a ton for this. But, as usual, I get more doubts after reading this. It will be fantastic if one of you provide me answers: 1. When you have a palm-size, portable cassette player (such as the one I have) is it still possible to connect it to a comp and do as instructed? 2. What will be the quality of such a recording? Are there tricks to improve audio quality? I have several "dying" tapes that have interviews and conversations that needs to be converted to audio files. Your suggestions will help me a great deal.

Please read: Digitizing Audio Tapes, an article taken from a recent Kim Komando newsletter. Q. I have a cassette tape of conversations with my sister in the late 1960s. I would like to record it onto a CD. How can I do this? A. That's cool. I wish that I had a recording of my sisters and I talking away. It would be fun to remember what the big issues were. Fortunately, this is relatively easy to do at home. You need to run a cable from your cassette player or your tuner to your computer. You can buy one of these cables for a few bucks at your local Radio Shack or electronics store. Use the line out port on the player or tuner. Connect to the Line In port on your computer. You will also need software to capture the sound. I suggest you use Audacity. It is relatively simple to create a WAV file from your tape. And plus Audacity is free at: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ You can then burn the WAV file to a CD. Your CD should have software to do that. Or you can use Windows Media Player, which is part of Windows. If you plan to store the file on your computer or e-mail it to your sister, you might want to compress it. WAV files are very large. You can convert yours to an MP3, which will be much smaller. Audacity has a plug-in which will allow it to create MP3 files. Instructions are on its Web site. Or you can use DB PowerAMP, an excellent conversion tool. It's available free at: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ There are many programs that will play MP3s, including Windows Media Player. Regards.
