Audio Tape to CD

[PTsniper]

Hello everyone...

I dont know if i can post this here, so please if I'm doing anything that I shouldn't please tell me.

Ok, I want to make a backup from a audio tape to a Music CD, how can I do it?
Do I need to connect my radio to my DVD Recorder, and then convert the Files to audio files?

I mean, can I do this or isn't there such thing?

Thanks to all.

Line out from your radio to line in in your computer audio card, record to wav.
Burn wav as Audio CD.

I've used my Walkman for this. Out the headphone jack and in my sound card.

Use CDWave,GoldWave or Audacity.

What them guys said to transfer to your pc or you could buy one of these if you have an extra drive bay and are going to do alot.

they both pretty much told you before you asked 8)

lol

Yes they have, I have just asked because I haven't understand waht they were trying to say. But now I see.

And yyyyuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppppppiiii, i manage to do it, thanks to all. (BTW, it's so damn simple )

Just one little question: whats the best program to record the tracks? (I've used the Windows Recorder because I was just testing)

Thanks to all. You guys are the best.

Edit - -»» I know "Moviegeek" told me the name of three programs, but I just don't know wich of that is the best. Sorry

[mats.hogberg]

I'd go for CDWave, as it can automatically split the recording in tracks. It's a specialized app, where GoldWave and Audacity are general purpose audio editors/tools.

Just had to throw in my thanks on this one. I'd just got round to getting a cable to attach tape players etc to my PC and found that the imported files were going to result in very long tracks. CD Wave means that I get more flexibility for burning the files and makes using the car CD player easier to use if CDs are taken out and put back in.

Hi again!

Just one question: I've been trying to convert from the tape to the CD, but the CDWave doens't let you convert from the tape to a audio file, it only lets to select the file (after that being converted), so my question now is: what program should I use to transfer from the Tape to the PC.

Thanks to all.

Edit --» BTW, this is my post number 100, I'm so happy. :P :P :P

According to the help page, http://www.milosoftware.com/cdwave/description.html, it's no more than hitting the REC button... (The example is for recording a CD from a LP, but the same principles applies.)

In Windows Volume Control->Recording you have to select line-in as the source.

Ups, I gess I've donloaded the wrong version.

Thanks a lot guys, really, thanks.

P.S. Sorry for so late response but i didn't touch the computer in the last 3 days. And thanks once more, you guys are the best.

I've used the WaveEdit.exe app that comes with Nero to do this in the past and gotten fairly decent results.
