trying to find software programs to write cassettes onto cd?

Answer 1

Here's how to convert cassette to CD

If you have computer, you can connect your tape deck directly to it. The cable you need has stereo RCA jacks (round red and white) that plug into the tape deck’s stereo output, and a headphone style mini-plug for the audio input jack for your Mac or PC.

Next, equip your computer with some recording software. Free programs abound, like MusicMatch or Audacity .

Download Audacity from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/?lang=en


Visit your computer’s sound control panels or the options screen in you recoding software, to make sure that it is ‘listening’ to the correct audio input (and not, for example, it’s microphone jack). Once you’ve set the volume levels, press ‘Play’ on you tape deck and ‘Record’ in the recording software. If you save each song as separate file on your hard drive, you’ll be all set to turn them into traditional tracks on the finished CD. This entails stopping the tape after every song and exporting the file before continuing.

Once a song has safely arrived on your hard drive, you can export it – in AIFF or WAV format, for example – and then import it into a program like iTunes or Windows Media Player for burning to a blank CD.

If you want more step-by-step details on this process , browse through the following links. You may find them useful.

AUDACITY is what you need, see below...
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:

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! (requires additional 'lame-enc.dll' file for MP3 conversion)
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 3

Use Nero7 Premium. Play it in U'r tape player and from it's audio out connect it to the line in of U'r Soundcard. U can also remove hiss and other noise from the recorded music later if u want in Nero itself. Now save this recorded audio in wav format. Now if u want to burn the CD in Audio CD format, u can drag this file to Nero and write out as an Audio CD.
If u want to save this file and keep it in U;r computer, try some encoders like mp3, Orbis etc, they are all available in Nero and u;r audio will not eatup much of U'r space.

Remember to connect your cassette player to the "Aux" port on your sound card. Press Play, too.
