audio cassett to CD ?

[alondra]

as most CDs today I wouldn't waste a blank to copy, would like to copy some of my cassetes to CD, good old stuff, big bands and the like,
have SBLV audio card, 1 1/2 gig vacant in a HD, and 450MHZ cpu. and a good cassete player. which I can bring in by the comp. I think if I can get them on the HD then to the CD OK. Has any one done this or know how??? TNX.

I did this for a friend who had some cassettes of his dad playing guitar and singing. I hooked a standard cassette player headphone out to the line in on the sound card. Then used Real Producer to convert it to a file. Then used Easy CD Creator to burn them to CD in CDA format.

Oh, by the way, this is not intended for illegal copying of copyrighted materials.

tnx for th input, so it can be done, no legality problem as I see it, I own the cassettes and am just devising a diferent way to hear them. guess I need to study the manuel on my sound card. what program to convert the cassette to DD, have Sony burner with its program. will check RS for a cable.

I used my headphones to output the mc to my harddrive. It's actually very easy, just from the output of the cassette player into the stereoinput of the soundcard. Then just from the recording properties (that's the small speaker in the systray (there are properties for playing and for recording) select line-in as the source. You can use the standard sound recorder that came with windows, know that audio cds require a lot of disk space in wav format.

Please look at my new post. I am stuck wioth a huge file instead of a bunch of songs.
Did you get the same thing? And if not, how did you tell the software to treat each gap as the start of a new song?

Thank you

fraid ur gonna hve to split it urself, to do this just easily download some music editing software and split the file at the necesary points, or you can re-record all the songs one by one at a time for diff files

You can probably use the software that came with your sound card to edit the .WAV files. It's a long process but in no way complicated. I have just done the same with a load of my Cassettes. I used the headphone (out) socket of the Cass player to the line in socket on the sound card and used the recording software with the sound card to get the track(s) onto the hard disk. Then open the wav editing software and divide the tracks up.
Hope this helps
