Ok this is going to sound like a silly and rather uneducated question! Here goes... is there any way that I can transfer old mix tapes onto MP3 format so I can listen to them on my ipod? Lemme know if anyone knows. Thanks!
Converting to MP3?
- Thread starter Venus_Glam
- Start date
1. Get an audio recording prog like Soundforge or Cool Edit (now called Adobe Audition)
2. Get your tape player and connect the LINE OUT to the LINE IN on your sound card.
3. DO NOT plug the output from the tape player into the MIC INPUT on your sound card, or you risk damaging it.
4. Set your PC recording - making sure you've set to record from the LINE INPUT
5. Press play
6. When you're done recording, chop the beginning and end and save your file as an mp3 and remember to select the bitrate to what you want.
7. Stick it on your Ipod.

http://www.goldwave.com/ - It counts the number of times you use it, then you eventually have to restart the application. You could of course pay the $50 or whatever it is.
On a similar tip, does anybody know of an mp3 converter that you could run on a directory (or a number of directories) as it would save me loads of time.
To mass convert to mp3 use something free like Cdex (http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/) just open it choose your compression settings in the options & then choose convert wav>compressed then choose all your files & press convert.
