I have a bunch of audio tapes that I would love to convert into CD's.  I have a cassette player that will hook into my input on my sound card.  Now my question is....does anyone know of any software that will record my tapes then burn them onto a CD?  Thanks!

I would look for an audio ripping program.  I've got some all in one ripping stuff on my home computer that lets me rip audio and video from any source.  There should be a bunch of shareware out there, just do a search.

Like chevy said, do a search at ZDNet or MSN or where ever..there are lots and they are easy to use.  Sound like you have the equipment, just need the shareware...remember you have to record to CD-R's for the audio...not CD-RW's.  WOnt work right if you do.....

I use MusicMatch and have converted my old cassettes. The program allows you to record and also burn. I get better quality by getting them from the gnutella network tho.

Well, I just found two programs that should work.  One will record the audio (.WAV) and I have another one that does the CD burning (came with CD-burner).  When I get home, I'll give her a try.  

 

I was mainly looking for recommendations on programs to do this.  Thanks...

are these not music tapes?  If you want to record music I would suggest downloading some mp3's and making a cd from there, probably a lot easier and better quality than if you rip them from a cassette

Actually, its for one of my clients at work (side work).  He has a bunch of country tapes (old classic country - he has searched all of the MP3 sites for them already) and he wants to convert them all to CD because his new truck only has a 6 disc cd-changer.  I am tring to set him up with one of the easiest systems to do this.  

 

All of my personal music is either bought or burnt from MP3's.

Same way w/ me.  With a DSL connection and a cd burner there's pretty much no need to buy a music CD again.

 

I haven't gotten the chance to test out the software/hardware combo I have now. I can rip audio and video w/ it.  I was going to try it last night, but ran it to problems running the coax cable.

As I said before, I use Music Match to do all the things you are trying to do.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
