my auntie asked me to copy her audiobooks onto a laptop or her mp3 player. Any idea if this can be done fairly easily?
thanks

Audiobooks on cassette? - no easy way. You would have to input the output from a cassette player into pc and play the whole audio to make an audio file (mp3 etc). Be there years...and years and years if you got a large collection (ok a few weeks/months).
Probably simpler to re-purchase them in the right format.
If the audiobooks are on a cd (doesn't sound like they are), then it would be simple case of ripping the audio with readily available software.0 -
Yes, a simple 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable (£0.99) from the headphone socket of your tape player to the mic socket on your laptop and using the free program Audacity
A Tutorial on how to do this can be found here0 -
