copying cassette tapes to cd

lenora

I want to get a machine that can copy audio from cassette tape to cd sorry if thats a bit vague as i'm not sure what they are called but know that they exits if anyone could offer some advice as to how much i should expect to pay and where i might be able to get one that would be a great help

Thanks

You might only need to get a lead. Can your CD player record? If so you need to get a lead that goes out of your cassette player and in to your CD player.

If your PC has a CD recorder drive.


This site has free sound recorder software.


This lead should connect from your cassette output to your PC soundcard.

I use software called Magix Audio Lab, it's great and I've copied all my lps and cassettes to cd - it was easy (even for me!)

Would I be right in thinking that I can do it on my PC then using a lead that I would connect into the back but what would I put the tape in could I use my stereo

I don't think there are any other ways to do it without using a PC without buying something very expensive.

There's lots of details on the net about doing it so I wont repeat it all, just show you how to find it

BTW - amazingly this is actually illegal in the UK, the UK is about the only country in the world where you're not allowed to make copies for personal use though I don't think anyones been prosecuted for it for years - it's just one of those stupid laws they haven't had time to change yet.
