Recording Cassette Audio to CD

[reicherb]

I'd like to be able to record a cassette to CD. I assume I can just plug a cassette player into toe line in of my sound card.

What software do I need to convert the audio to wav files to record them to CD?

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

wav files are to be directly burned to CD
Any burning software can do that.

Edit: Just make sure you set the wav file to Stereo, 44.1 kHz, and 16 bit.

I did this recently using musicmatch and setting the input within musicmatch to 'line-in' or something like that...and it ripped it into an mp3.

I do that all the time with both cassette tapes and reel-to-reel tapes. It is easy with ECDC 5.X using SoundStream and Spin Doctor. The latter is what converts analog tape files to WAV files. I would never burn directly to a CDR. First, I get all the WAV files needed to fill one - arrange them, make sure the titles are what I want, and then when it is what I want, I do a disk-at-once burn. Never a bad burn that way. I have done this for several hundred CDs from tapes. Another good analog to digital program is Cool Edit if you don't have ECDC 5. Then when you have all the WAV files ready, you can burn with Nero if that is your schtick. Nero has no capability to do the analog to digital conversion.
