tape to cd

anyone have any knowledge in this field as i need to get some tapes on to cd or onto my computer asap.
any1 know of any way thts free of costs very little.

 

You'll need a tape deck with output slots, a cable that fits them slots and plugs into the microphone socket of your sound card (Maplins?). Next stop is some software to record and edit the tape output (I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab) - chop it into CD tracks, that sort of thing. You can then export it as MP3s and burn 'em as audio tracks onto a CD.

Maybe, if it has an output socket that you can find a cable for. Portable ones might not, those that come with a stereo system should do.

I've never copied tapes, just vinyl - the principle is the same but the hardware is different

 

got to conect the tape player/deck to the computer tho

 

input on sound card, normally black

 

need the wire thingy to conect them up with not looking good for me

 

if you live in wombwell I'll give you one bud

 

Right, you'll need a tape deck with outputs and a cable similar to this one:



The coloured ends will connect to your tape deck, the smaller one to the microphone jack on your sound card.

That is job number one - when you have completed this mission, return to me for further instructions!



I may have some, ahem, software "advice" that may assist you in your quest...

Can't help you there, mate - all that's the science bit which I don't get. All I know is that the ends of the cable have to be the right size!
