Cassette to CD ? How do you do it ?

 

[zimu]

play it in a cassette deck, have a cable running from the headphone jack of the deck to the audio input or mic jack of your computer, record it using sound recording program as a wav file, burn onto CD.

loose a LOT of quality

not that there was much there to begin with. a better way is using a line level output of a tape deck.

haha, good point.
line level would be far better, true.

whats on the cassette? is it nothing you can download (legally of course!)- music? or are they voices etc?

Country music is especially difficult to record to CD.

j/k

Line out on Tape deck ----> Line in on sound card.
Record to wav file, cut wav file in individual songs using your favorite editing software. I believe Nero 6 has that build in. Other wise use something like GoldWave or similar.
I've converted many LPs to CD this way with excellent quality.

Don't forget about Noise Reduction (Sound Forge + NR plugin, CoolEdit Pro).
