Hi, I just did this the other day. If you go to
www.sourceforge.net and search for AUDACITY (or here is a
direct link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/a.../audacity-win-
1.2.0-pre3.exe?download ) you can download a GREAT FREE
OPENSOURCE program. (I use the 'unstable' PRE-2 version
which is actually very stable.)
The program will allow you to record from your LINE-IN
jack. All you'll need is a little cable to go from the
TAPE OUT to the sound card's LINE IN.
1) Hook up a tape player's headphone out to the sound
card's LINE IN. Adjust the levels so that the input isn't
so high that it clips and causes distortion. (You'll have
to experiment).
2) Set the input selection (pull-down) in AUDACITY for
the LINE INPUT. (Make sure the Preferences are set for a
STEREO recording and at least 44100 sampling [should be
default]).
3) Start the recorder then start the tape player. (You
should see the recording look like jumbled, squiggly lines
on the recorder. If only a straight line, then you must
have something set/hooked up wrong.)
4) Record all you want. When done export the recording to
WAV.
5) Use your CD burning software to burn the WAV file to
AUDIO CD. (Your burning software should automatically
convert the WAV to a CD format so you can play it
anywhere.)
Good recording!
