[Abigail]

Is there a way for me to transfer my tapes to CD? If so, can someone tell me how?

Thanks

Abigail,

Have you attempted to transfer your cassette tapes to CD yet?

I want to transfer some but my stereo equipment is in the great room and my computer is in the computer room.

Hubby said it would be too much trouble to take all of it apart and move it to the computer room.

Just wondering, do you have an all-in-one turntable, CD player? If so, which brand and are you happy with its quality?

BTW, I LOVE your avatar!!!!!!!!!!

If you have problems doing it yourself, there are folks out there who can do it for you. Look in yellow pages for audio/video transfer.

Hey, polar bear, yeah, I know I can pay for it, but with all this equipment we have and a nice computer, it is a shame to pay someone to do it.

Maybe hubby will be more up to it when it gets cooler weather.

Abi, thanks for the return PM.

Get a program from Roxio called easy CD & DVD burning. You also need a portable cassette player (stereo). You also need a cable for sound.

Hook up the cable to the head phones place on the cassette recorder and to either the in spot on your computer. Roxio will talk you thru everything else.

When burning the CD make sure you are off line and nothing else is running cause it won't work.

Have to be careful about not doing copy write stuff

What sort of connector do I need to connect the headphone jack to my computer?

Also, I have Nero SmartStart on my computer for CD/DVD burning. Can I use it instead of the Roxio program?

I believe it's call an 1/8" mini plug I've done it plenty of times and have had no probs with it . I used Goldwave as my recording software.

Yesterday, I bought a Numark turntable usb, of course, it won't record cassette tapes.

I am listening to Star of the Show lp right now and saving it to my computer to burn to CD before I sell it and others on ebay.

So far I like it and set up was easy as long as you READ the instructions!!!

Bought it at Guitar Center.
