cassettes to cd's
My wife has a bunch of cassettes that I would like to put on CD's. I have heard it is a simple process to do this on a PC. I do not have a clue on how to do this. So again, I would like to solicit all the brainiacs on this site.
TIA Everyone.

To Line in..
queue the tape and WMP up.....record all the songs seperately...then list them in a file in Nero..then burn them to CD.
In some cases one has to finalize the audio before it can be played on anything other than a computer

I've never ( as far as I can remember) seen a record function in WMP -- for audio input. There's an accessories 'Sound Recorder' that records up to 60 seconds.
There are also freeware options like Audacity that let you record any length and have a lot of editing options.
I don't really do this much, but the default seems to be a .wav file output. You can apparently do mp3's, but there is some business about an mp3 encoder that's apparently separate from Audacity.
This has been my limited experience -- I'm open to corrections.

Go to cnet.com they have software for recording on your computer. Some include the usb interface for connecting your casette player, and reviews to help you decide
what to use. If it seems too expensive. you can take the info and buy elsewhere.

Instructions are in the help section or online.
I have about 4 audio/video programs on mine so I have various ways of dubbing.

for best quality you probably shouldn't transport the source to a compressed format; compression will always degrade the audio. You'll get better results using uncompressed PCM audio; PCM Audio is about 10 MB per minute, so you'll need about 750 megs for a 74 minute CD.
Check your CD burning software; I wouldn't be surprised if it has a audio recording function that will do exactly what you want. If not, there are likely plenty of free solutions that will do most of the work once you have connected the tape Line Out RCA's to an RCA to 1/8 stereo miniplug adapter, and plug that into the sound card Line In... have a look on Tucows or Majorgeeks for freeware.
