Need to digitalize casette audio.

[Heri]

What type of equipment/programs would I need to digitalize some cassettes so I can upload their audio to the web? (Yes, this would be legal... They are some sermons of my preacher.) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are these video cassettes and all you want off of them is the audio, or is it strictly audio? What type/size cassettes are they?---bedlam123

I have used this program for my audio cassettes, Its very easy to use looks like an taperecorder on screen and you can save in many different formats. You can download a free trial I did and then bought it.

For a freeware application that'll handle the recording and any subsequent editting you may want to do, you can't beat Audacity, which you can find at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - some instructions for it's use are here - http://www.transom.org/tools/editing....audacity.html.

You'll need to attach your cassette player to your computer, through the Line-In jack, which is the same type of jack as the one on your headphones. You should be able to get what you need from any Radio Shack (or other electronics store). Tell them what you're trying to do - they'll know what you need.

the line in jack isn't totally the same as microphone. microphoe is amplified, line in isn't. most of the time you can just do whatever, but if the tape is loud, it could overload the soundcard.

just so you don't make a costly mistake
