Making a CD from an Audio Cassettes

[Jack Gillis]

I want to put a number of my old cassettes on an Audio CD. The XP Sound
Recorder included with XP Home wants to limit the size of recorder file to
considerably less than an entire cassette. Is there a way to extend the
recording time for Sound Recorder? My sound card is an Avance '97 on the
MB.

Thank you.

Thank you, DL. I have heard of Audacity and I guess now is the time to give
it a try.

Thanks again.

This is for Win95/Win98, but it probably works for Sound Recorder in
WinXP as well: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/82215

If the tapes are in unusually good condition, and the sound won't
need any "cleaning up," you can use WinXP's built-in sound recorder
(Start > All Programs > Accessories > Entertainment > Sound Recorder to
save the audio as *.WAV files, and Windows Media Player to burn them to
CD. Record only one side at a time into a single *.wav file.

More likely, though, you'll want to eliminate (or at least
significantly reduce) the inevitable hiss that accompanies taped audio.
I'm currently use a program called Groove Mechanic 2.5 from Coyote
Electronics (http://www.coyotes.bc.ca/) to clean up the audio from
recorded vinyl LPs and cassettes, and divide the large files into
individual tracks, as well. It can be used on a trial basis for 15
days, and was quite reasonably priced. It doesn't produce professional
studio quality sound, but it's certainly good enough for my antique ears.

Thank you to all who responded to my question I now can do what I set out to
do.

Thanks again.

Try Audacity from SourceForge.net. Great app and free. Sound REcorder is
limited to 60 seconds of sound without doing some fiddling with things.
Audacity will let you record anything you can hear.
