I have several tapes that I made in the 80's and 90's that I'd like to transfer to cd's. Unfortunately, a number of the albums that I got the music from are not available on cd.

You need to be able to connect your walkman or whatever you use to play the tapes to the input jack on your computer. Then, download a program called Cdex. It has a recorder in it that will record whatever sound you here, so if you were playing a song from your tape player through your computer, Cdex will record it to mp3 or wav, either of which you can burn to cd.

You need a plug in from your tape player to your computer through the sound card. You also need some software such as Magix or Audacity that will record your music to the hard drive. You play the tapes and record the music to your hard drive by using the software. Then you record the music to a blank CD R.

in the journey that your cassette deck has some type of audio output (both a a million/8 inch jack - like a headphone jack - or pink and white RCA jacks, then you could get a cable to pass from that to the enter or mic jack on your soundcard. To record, there are quite some application programs accessible that are made for this, and could locate the breaks interior the songs, remove noise, etc. notwithstanding the way is to receive some thing like Audacity and easily record the entire tape, then chop it up into individual WAV or MP3 information.

as mentionned above you need to connect your tape player to your pc via a cable. you can get the cable at radio shack, it's got a stereo jack at each end if you have a walkman, and jack at one end and 2 rca at the other if it's from a hifi.
Contrary to what's been written you don't need to use any extra software than what's on your pc, though 3rd party software will make it easier.
Start/all programs/accessories/entertainment/sound recorder.
make sure you select the line in for recording.
most cd writer will come with software for recording.
Winamp can also do it quite well.

Yes, buy a miniplug to miniplug wire it looks like the end of your headphones but its like that on both sides. Then plug one into your radio and the other to your computers input jack. Afterwards open up a program like sound recorder and hit record on the computer and play on your radio. Save the file when its done playing and burn it to a cd.
