Downloading cassettes to my PC.

Is there a way that I can download my cassettes to my computer so that I can make CDs from them. The reason I ask is that I have so many cassettes and it is hard to find a good stereo anymore that will play cassettes. Thanks for your help. Also, is it legal to do this? They are only for my own use.

Go to DAK.Com
This man sells a device that records records to CD. There is a system just for tapes
I have used it to make LPS to CD disks. It works great.

There are a few ways to do this.

Probably the cheapest is to get "Audacity", which is a free recorder, and then play your cassettes through your computer.

While playing the cassettes through your machine, use Audacity to record them.

After you edit them, if you need to edit them, save them to you computer.

I never thought of that! I have cases filled with cassettes and even 8 tracks. I also have my dad's old glass lps and my albums from teen years.

In order for it to be legal you must keep the cassettes.

You can do that with your old LPs as well.

when you buy a cassette, an lp. a cd or any other nusical recording, what you are doing essentially is buying the license for that recording and you can keep the recording in any form or format you choose and as many copies for your own use as you please...

and a cassette deck can be hooked straight into a pc and the recordings stored..or burned to a cd .o.r you can use the Inport by Xitel..that also allows youto hook a turntable into the pc...the Inport can be found on sale for about 50 bucks and comes with a software package as well..
