How can I convert audio casettes to CD through my computer?

Question

I have a series of training tapes that I want to listen to in my car, which only has a CD player.

Answer 1

You have to play the tape in a tape deck that has a valid ouput option like line-out, aux or headphones. Hookup that ouput into an input jack on your computer, like line-in, aux or microphone. And you need to use software to record the incomming feed on the computer.

The software should allow you to save the incomming feed into a digital file like Wav, WMV or MP3. You can then use any burning software to cut an audio CD with those files.

Answer 2

Plug your cassette player into your computer. (Use the blue Line-In jack)


Click Start > Run
type sndvol32.exe
Press enter

Click Options, then Properties
Tick the Recording box
make sure Line-In is ticked in the list
Click OK

Tick Select under the Line-In volume controller and set volume to maximum
Quit the volume controller

Now download Audiograbber from http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net and install it

Start up Audiograbber and click the File menu

Then click Line-In Sampling

Then adjust the settings as needed :)

Good luck! :)


PS Audiograbber is a free program with no advertising, it allows you to convert vinyl records, tapes and CDs into MP3 files, which you can then burn to a new disc. It also automatically splits the different sections of the tape into seperate tracks.
