Title: Changing Analog audio cassettes to Digital CDs.
Post by: Lost_Dog on January 26, 2005, 10:40:31 AM

Hello Gurus.  :)


I want to back up some analog cassettes onto digital CDs.

What are some options and types of equipment that I can add to my computer to make this a reality.

Thanking you in advance,

Lost Dog

Thank you for your prompt response.  

Where can I get this free software?

Is there any special type of sound card I need to get to insure a high quality transfer with the option of mixing the left and right channels as needed.  

Could this even be boosted to 5.1 sound?

Your time and attention are greatly appreciated.

Hello how are you? For software you can  search it on "http://www.google.com/".
As for as matter of 5.1 sound is concerned, you need latest sound card like Creative Sound Blater of someone else. Bye...

The only one I've used is Musicmatch Jukebox. I think  it is very easy to use and organizes your music for you, from cassette or cd. There was a free version, may still be, but the $20-30 pay version has more goodies that make it even easier.  I'm sure there are others, but I can't complain about Musicmatch.
