Need to convert from tape to CD

#1

Post by 5829 »

I have some cassette tapes (audio only) that I want to put on CDs. Have either of you run across software that will do this? Either Windows or Linux.

Software? I have never run across something as such.

However, a cheap work around could be acquiring the program Super MP3 Recorder Professional; (I found it for free back in 2007-08 and it probably still exists on my old setup, if you feel you cannot find it yourself.) next, plugg in an existing mic to your computer's appropriate jack, and then play the cassettes on an existing apparatus that you have left over that will still play the tapes, and just simply record them as MP3 files; last step is to burn them to a CD.

However, that seems quite cumbersome to me.
In all things in life, I do prefer the analog and hands-on method to acquiring solutions.

One little (expensive) item I've had my eye on for a while is this.
PyleHome - Classical Turntable with AM/FM Radio CD/Cassette & USB Recording

It seems to have the capacity and all-encompassing capabilities to play and record all sort of music media from vinyl to tapes & CD, as well as media stored on drives via USB connectivity. I'd recommend it. I believe I've seen it go for as little as 80 to 90 US dollars, on sale.

However, if you feel you are on a budget, you can also view this product: BrainyTrade USB Cassette Deck Converter
Bring the 80's to the present with this cassette tape converter. Take those old cassette tapes and transfer them to your computer and then to your mp3 player! This device is perfect for anyone who used to record themselves on cassette tapes and would like to relive their past. Get yours today and bring your musical tastes to a modern device!
Or, try to find/borrow a good (read: bigger) boombox or stereo system from the mid-80s to the mid-00s.
I've owned quite a few myself, and most, if not all of them, had tape-to-CD recording capabilites, and some times, vice-a-versa.

Best of luck, and please report back as to the eventual solution you took. (I'm going to be doing this myself someday, but in reverse: recording digital files to tapes & CDs for posterity)
