docta13 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I have some old audio cassette tapes that I want to record digitally. Can anyone please point me to any hardware and software that I would need for this? Freeware suggestions are always welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted January 25, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2007 If it's commercial music you're ten times better off just buying the stuff on audio CD or buying it as mp3's, FLAC, etc., from legit music download websites! For converting you need some stuff: * A good tape deck, if the cassettes were recorded with Dolby Noise Reduction it would help to use a tape deck that had Dolby B Noise Reduction built into it. * A wave editor, Audacity is capable of doing everything from recording the audio from line-in, to editing the .wav file (e.g.; splitting it into separate tracks), to encoding into LAME mp3 (you'll need lame_enc.dll), or .ogg. Good luck, because I did just that back in 2003 and it's very time consuming.

Moderators DennisD Posted January 31, 2007 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2007 That rarewares site is pretty neat Andavari. I was all round the houses when I had to find the Lame decoder for AudioGrabber. http://www.audiograbber.com-us.net/ Wish I`d known about that place. Bookmarked.
