how do i put my cassette player into my computer and record the music onto my hard drive?

Answer 1

ghet a jack to jack lead, the shiny bit on the end of your headphones and plug one into the headphone socket of your hifi and the other into the mic input of your pc.
you will need a programme to record audio, there are lots, google away.
go into control panels and sound and ensure you have the mic in as your selected input.
press play on the hi fi and record on the programme you have chosen.

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/how_to.htm This is certainly 'do-able', if you have the patience....
You will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software and CD writer.
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: http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/downloads.php -free step-by-step guide in PDF format also available)– 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!! You will use up loads of hard-drive space, so don’t try this if you are pushed for space…You may need to purge the huge files every so often (10MB per minute WAV files, 1MB per minute MP3). You could save some space recording directly into MP3 at the sacrifice of a little sound quality

Answer 3

if your cassette player have a an output terminal put the output terminal using a RCA jack connect to the sound-card input line of your computer and then open the sound recorder program of your computer then play the cassette and then click the record button on your sound recorder program
