I have my own Audio Tapes, I paid to have them processed while living in USA to American format. I would like to change the format too UK then produce CD's with them. Anyone know where I can find the person/company that can so this?

I have no idea what you mean by 'American format' and 'UK format' in relation to Audio Tapes.
Cassettes? Reel to reel? 8 track? DAT?
All of these were worldwide formats. Video tape has different regional formats.0 -
Probably mean mp3 to wav - no idea how us to uk formats come into it. Franpow - if you have mp3 copies of your tapes you can convert them yourself (for free even) then record your own cdrs - assuming you have a computer with a cd burner and can download/already have the necessary software.
eta: one way is here - using Windows Media Player

If you want to re transfer the tapes to get better sound quality, you or a friend just need to connect a a decent tape player to a computer and record it using audacity or similar software

Or, since the OP gives no hint that they want them in any format other than CD, connect a decent tape player to a standalone CD recorder.0 -
A pity that the OP has lost interest, as I'd love to know what he or she is talking about ...0

This music forum seems particularly bad for OPs who never return to the threads they started .....0
