how can i transfer my old cassettes to CD?

Answer 1

yes.. you can use roxio program and plug the headphone jack from the cassette into the speaker in or mic in jack in your sound card. You can then record the cassette onto a cd useing the wave file. Note: some wave files only record one minute, you may need to get the roxio program to record for a longer time.

Answer 2

You could try specialist shops that could do that. I saw a shop today that can transfer video cassettes to DVD so Im sure its possible to the same with cassettes and CD's. Try in the yellow pages

Answer 3

My simple guide to recording cassettes to CD's is as follows:
Put simply, you will need to connect your cassette player to your PC soundcard, then play the cassette whilst recording on your PC. A step-by-step guide is available at:
http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/diy
The recording software is the key, there are some free software downloads available at:
http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/downloads.php
I have used ‘Magix Audio Cleaning Lab’ and ‘Audacity’ – Audacity is particularly popular since it is free!
If you record to WAV format, expect file sizes of around 10MB per minute, or 1MB per minute for MP3 (at 128kbps).
Once you have your digital versions of the recording on your PC, simply burn them on to a CD (Nero burning software or similar..). If you use Magix Audio Cleaning, the software will burn an audio CD for you without needing additional software (assuming you have a CD writing drive of course!)
You can also download a free PDF version of the step-by–step guide from the download page mentioned above, the guide is complete with diagrams and screen-shots
Hope this helps

Answer 4

connect a patch cord from radio shack between your cassette player and your line in on your sound card.
test the connection using sound recorder (start \ programs \ accessories \ entertainment) until you've figured it out.
download Audacity for free. Google for download sites.
Use audacity to record the line in from your playing cassettes to .wav format. Stop/start Audacity when your songs begin/end (like using a tape-deck.)
Use Windows Media Player to burn your saved .wav files to CD format.

++check the volume of your cassette. don't adjust the volume too loud because the output sound result is not good for your ears and for your family.
