Tape to CD

DaBouncer · 12-08-2003, 18:42

Whats the best way to go about putting some DJ mix tapes on to CD? Software advice anyone?

No experts amongst us then eh?

not sure mate, you culd probably use a sound card with a normal audio jack lead for the input into your tape player, then just record what comes out of the tape player, the soundcard software would convert it inot a wav file probably.

You can then convert to a cd audio file with nero or real jukebox and burn to a cd.

could try it I suppose, would work in theory.

you need a lead that will go into your puter and also a program to edit it.

A CD burner would be helpful too.

My hubby has done it when people have had their tarot readings recorded at the shop. I will get the details from him

yeah its a basic audio jack plug, sounds card software will do it though.

Open MG Jukebox is reputed to be a good tape / record to CD copier.

But, have you checked out www.nero.com

They produce the finest CD recording software and I am sure the latest version comes with software.

How about tape to mp3? Would anyone be interested in digitising 40 tapes?

I don't have time to digitise them myself. Again these are old compilation tapes. I don't need them chunking down to individual tracks, just want to rescue them before they get chewed to bits by my tape player.

Please get in touch, Cheers, Susannah

Here are a lot of converters but before that you have to install them in your mac or PC..!
You can find out on google by entering "tape to cd" keywords.
Thanks
