Copying cassette to CDR 1

[eddie2]

I have a Pent. 1.8 GHz, 512 Ram running XP Pro. How do I connect a cassette recorder with 4 I/Os (Mic, Aux, Ear,Rem) to my PC which has 3 I/Os (Mic, Spkr, Line in) so I can transfer cassettes to CD. Thanks for your valuable input. Eddie

If the Aux output is a pair of analog RCA jacks, then all you need is a y-cable that goes from one mini-stereo headphone jack to two analog RCA.

Then simply plug the headphone jack into the "line in" on the PC, with the RCA jacks going to the cassette deck. Windows has a built-in "sound recorder" that can save in WAV format. Just be sure to choose 16-bit stereo at 44.1KHz before you record. You may want to record one WAV file per song, so that it is easier to make tracks in your CD recording software, which coverts WAV to CDA as you burn an audio CD.

I use Polderbits Sound Recorder. With it you can load the whole tape onto the hard drive and Polderbits will automatically split all the songs into separate tracks. You can edit and fade in and out and lots of good things.
