How can I get my music cassettes down loaded in to mp3 format and stored in the my music folder?

Answer 1

Difficult to write all the steps down here, but you can have a look at the following for some guidance http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/diy This is certainly 'do-able', if you have the patience....
You will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard and some conversion software.
Note: if you are using a laptop, you may need a USB external soundcard (mine has only a mono mic input – not good enough!) – you can get cheap, simple but effective ones (from Hong Kong) via ebay…
You could get someone to do it for you, there are plenty to choose from out on the web, this type of job is perfect for a 'virtual' studio.
The software is probably the thing you really want to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily produced for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap too and even comes with a stereo cable – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads (audacity available from link below..)– listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….
Oh yeah, and Magix has automatic track recognition based on silence between tracks and auto-stop recording so you can go out for the day and it will stop at the end of your tape – really useful!!

Answer 2

See if your computer has a microphone jack (probably in back, probably orange or red).
Make sure you have a cassette player with a headphone jack.
Buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.
Plug one end into the cassette player headphone jack and one end into the computer microphone jack.
Start up "Sound Recorder" and queue the tape to the start of the first song you want to record.
Press the record button on sound recorder as you start the first song playing: stop sound recorder when the song is done.
Give your .WAV file a name.
Repeat the queue/record/stop/name process for each song.
Then open the WAV files in a media player and convert them to mp3's.

extremely maximum likely any sound modifying software can convert your classics in to mp3's and such... The challenge is searching the interface to envision out this. Interface that means the hardware - gadget you take advantage of to play the former cassets, or vinyl that could also hook as a lot as your pc. a cheap selection will be to maintain a microphone rather a lot the speaker of a few ingredient participant and play the tracks on a similar time as recording on the computer. I propose going to radio shack and stumble on the audio cord that has a plug on each ends. (its like headphones, even with the truth that it has the ingredient that you only plug ideal precise right into a cd participant on each ends) receive a kind of. Plug one finish into the headphones port of your list or tape participant. Plug the opposite end into the microphone reciever of your pc. receive any loose rinky dink sound modifying software and hit list, then hit play for your tape participant. this would likely paintings! and could actually fee you about $4

You need to get a sound card that has stereo inputs. You connect the L & R audio out from the tape deck into the stereo inputs on the sound card. It is going to take a LLLLOOONNNGGGG time because they have to recorded in real-time.
