Question

is it possible to transfer music from cassettes to cd?

Answer 1

There was a piece about moving music from cassettes to your computer to convert to mp3 on The Gadget Show a couple of months back. Once the stuff is transferred you can convert it to burn a CD.


Here's the link to the shows web site and directly to the relevant page:

Answer 2

Yes--I have done it with my "rack set up" containing a turntable, cd player, cassette player and also a Phillips cd burner. By hooking into the burner, playing the music from any music medium, LP, cassette or another CD and recording it through the burner, it can be done. It's just a pain to finalize the cd, it's the one part I haven't mastered yet!

Answer 3

If you are on a desktop computer, then you have a line-in jack next to the speaker & mic jack. Buy a cord to go from it to your cassette deck or walkman. Use the recorder on the computer to record whats coming out of the cassette. A program like MusicMatch will make it a lot easier to do.

Answer 4

certainly

you need the right sound card and the right software

the sound card will have a jack to accept the output from your cassette player (like the earphone output)

the software will help you capture and digitize the signal as it is played form the tape player into the computer

you can then use normal burning software to make a CD with the format of your choice

Answer 5

You would have to connect your cassette player's line/audio out to the computer audio card's line in.This is a special cable.A mini stereo connector to two RCA connectors.You would then have to actually record in real time the cassette's audio to the computer's hard drive.An audio record program like Nero wave editor or the Microsoft wave recorder will work.To use the Microsoft wave file recorder--R click an open area on your desktop--New-- Wave sound---you can name the file,it appears on your desktop,by typing in a name.---R click the wave file icon---Then click Record.The Microsoft recorder will pop up on your desktop.Start your cassette playback--then click the red record button on the recorder.With Microsoft you get one minute of recording!Then you have to record the file to a CD.You could use your CD writing program to make an AUDIO CD.

Answer 6

yes there are cd burning programs out there that can convert the music for you to mp3 if you want, you need to plug the tape player into the mic jack then play it. this takes a while but it works. the sound quality isn't that great but with the right program you can clean it up

Answer 7

I don't think so unless you can burn cd's on your cd player, but I have never seen anything like that out on the market, but I'm not personally looking. Good Luck!
