Cassette to PC
 

Can anyone recommend a good programme for transferring music from cassette to pc ? I have been using a sampler called ' LP Player ' but it is limited to 4 minutes and can't do many of the songs I am wanting to put onto CD from pc.

Thanks

You will probably have to do it in a two step process, firstly record the cassette music in wav file format, your sound card should let you do this. Once you have done that you can burn a CD of the music if you want a back-up or use a program like EAC (Exact Audio Copy) to turn the files into Flac or MP3 format.
Just out of interest what are you trying to copy, as almost everything is out on the internet in probably better quality than you will end up with from a cassette.

Thanks Tom
You may remember a Radio 2 programme called 'Sounds of the 60s' which is on for two hours every Saturday morning. For several years I recorded the programme every week, then during the week would listen to it in the car on the way to work. By the end of the week I would record a few of the songs onto another tape and build up a collection of 60s stuff .

I now have 40 or so C90s , each with about 35 songs on, some of them very obscure, and I would like to transfer them on to CD before the tapes oxidise or whatever it is that old tapes do. I have obtained quite a few of the songs again from sites like Limewire and from some of the lesser known companies who specialise in old music, but I reckon there still a couple of hundred or so that I can't get elsewhere.

OK understand now, Try using http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ for recording them onto your computer. Then use EAC to make them into MP3 if you need to save hard disk space or to listen to them on an Ipod or similar.. It will be a time consuming thing.
