Should be a nifty tool (toy?)...

Wife just found/ordered me a little box that you plug into the computer. Supposed to be able to convert cassettes to MP3 format. I got skads of cassettes in a box that I haven't seen for 15 years or more. Oughta be fun.

It's in Germany. As soon as I get it, I'll translate what it is and see if I can find it on Amazon. Could end up being junk. I'll post again when I get it.

I have been thinking about getting one of those. Please post back how it works. I have also seen one that takes LP direct to MP3.
 
Check out this web site. I have been using Audcity for about two years now. there is a learning period. but once over that works fine. all you do is hook audo out on turntable or cassset player to audo in on computer.
 
I haven't a clue on this but I was told if you use a regular cassette player (stereo system, etc.) you can just use wires from it to your computer input without another device.

Same for reel to reel recordings or for other formats.

Once the files are on your computer can't you just send them to the MP3 player or burn to CD?

Anyone know?
Site to show how to transfer.
 

Prolly possible if you have a sound card installed (to let you hook up the wires) In my case, I don't know and the stereo is in another part of the house. The thing I am talking about is supposed to work w/ a USB cable and I likes simple stuff.

My daughter got me a turntable (brand name Ion) that uses a cable to go directly into the computer. I can also plug in a cassette player into the turntable and convert the tapes to MP3. Works good. The only problem I have had is that when the record or tape does not have enough of a sound gap between songs it puts two or more songs together as one. This is done when the software is set to automatically detect the changing of songs. You can do this manually and it takes care of the problem, but you have to sit there and listen to each song.
 
Yes, you can connect your cassett player to your computer and download from it to the computer, then burn to CD. I've done that with good results, but I know nothing about MP3's.

I understand that hooking an old style turntable to your computer is not so simple, but USB turntables are common if you have old vinyl you want to convert.

Nope, the analog (sound) recording has to be converted to digital electronically. My BIL invented a machine to accomplish it about 20 years ago, sells "high end" converters to the movie industry. Google "Lavry Engineering". He has a box that you plug a microphone in one side, and your computer into the other, and it burns a CD as you sing, play, etc.
 
I just bought a program (cd)from a company called Magix, that I can edit record and then edit music from the stereo (with the proper cables), save on the 'puter, then burn cds, or make mp3's. Cost was $50 American...or go to magix.com and download a 30 day trial version...All I needed was a cord that had a standard size stereo headphone male plug on one end and a mini stereo headpnone on the other...Works great...
 
Sorry to disagree Mike, but I have recorded live guitar/vocal audio on a standard cassett deck connected to our church PA system. Brought the cassett home, placed it in a standard cassett deck connected to my computer and downloaded it to the harddrive. I did have an amplified PA monitor also "Y" connected to the cassett deck output at home to allow me to hear the signal that the computer was receiving so I knew when to start/stop the process. The PA monitor had no bearing on the ability to download the signal. After downloading to the computer, I burned a CD of this audio. It was used for background music for a friend to practice for a fiddle contest. I am not well versed on computers, but I know it can be done because I have somewhat accidentally done it.

Best wishes,
Paul
