How Do You Get A Cassete On A CD Or Computer?

Answer 1

If your audio card on your PC has the ability to record audio through an "in" jack... you should have a software program that came with the audio card that you can record that input to a .wav or .mp3 file. See what jacks your cassette player has for output (like a microphone or earphone jack). Audio card jacks are typically the same as those type of jacks (I think they are called RCA connectors, not sure). You need to get a cable that has the right connectors on each end to plug one into the output jack on your cassette player and the other into the audio card input jack.
In a typical audio software capture program, you run it, select your input source, the type of audio file you want to save as, etc., and you record to the computer as the cassette plays.

To go to CD once you have the file on computer, you use a disc burning software program with your CD/DVD burner drive. If you have it in mp3 and just want to make a mp3 CD, you can do a direct burn. If you want to make an actual audio CD format disc (like store bought CDs which the files (tracks) are in .cda format) most decent burner programs will make the conversion to cda format if you start with an mp3.

Some burner programs are picky as to what format the original file has to be in... on mine you can't take a wav file and burn it in mp3 or cda format. I have to convert it to mp3 first. If you get stuck like that, check out the audio programs that came with your sound card... if you have any programs that can do audio editing, they should be able to convert and save between formats. If you don't have one already, you can find utilities like that on the web, just search for "wav mp3 converter" or something like that, and you'll find them.
