Copying CDs onto audiocassette

What is the cheapest way of copying audio off a CD or MP3 file onto audiocassette?

Depends what equipment you have.
1 CD player, 1 tape deck, 1 phono lead + cheap packet of tapes will do it.

Now Why would you want to do that? (Just Curious!)

If its for a car, why not a Audio Jack to Tape lead thingy :P?

I work for a charity and we need to produce materials in audio format for visually impaired enquirers. If we get things transcribed it takes a long time and is expensive. You can get a piece of software called EasePublisher that will create digital audio books from electronic text in e.g. MS Word or HTML formats. These can be saved in MP3 format which can be used for generating audio CDs, but we would still need a way for getting that onto audio cassette since many people still request them.

I guess I'll need to get a CD player to connect to the tape deck.

Has your PC got audio output ?



If so, something like this will connect your PC soundcard ouput to your cassette mic input.

You'll need to check your connector types.
