02 Dec 13 - 04:15 AM (#3580610) Subject: What cassette would you put on CD From: GUEST,FloraG I no longer have a cassete player in the car so can't listen to cassetes while traveling. I've bought a machine that will convert cassetes to CD's so I plan to spend many happy hours putting my favourites onto CDs. OK - some bands have re -issued work onto CDs but many have not. Question - what one cassete would you save onto Cd? FloraG |

Currently unavailable on CD, as far as I know. When I first started to think about converting all my cassette tapes to computer format, I discovered that the tapes were so old and brittle that they all snapped. I do have a portable cassette player, but it now seems used more to convert tapes for friends! |

02 Dec 13 - 05:22 AM (#3580622) Subject: RE: What cassette would you put on CD From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Will Fly. Strange. I've not long finished copying my entire collection of cassettes to digital format. Despite the fact that there were several thousand involved, very few of them wouldn't play. None of them were brittle or like to break, but some did keep jammimg and there were several where the recording tape had become detached from the leader tape. Btw. I keep all my analogue digital transfers on computer. That's a lot cheaper and easier than buying CDRs and a lot more reliable. Then, if I want to play them in the car or anywhere else, I download them to a memory stick and plug the stick into the car stereo. At any rate, that's how it will work shortly. I've recently changed my car and the CD player is like something out of Noah's ark. |

02 Dec 13 - 09:07 AM (#3580671) Subject: RE: What cassette would you put on CD From: GUEST,SqueezeMe Guest Fred McCormick (and any one else with a computer full of music), I hope you have duplicated all your hard work to an external drive, cloud storage or whatever as a back up to your computer-housed collection. Too easy to lose the lot if/when the inevitable(?) crash comes.... |

02 Dec 13 - 09:22 AM (#3580674) Subject: RE: What cassette would you put on CD From: GUEST,Fred McCormick Fear not. Up the Mersey on a bubble yesterday, arrive I did not. The whole lot is backed up to external hard drive, as are all my ripped CDs and all the stuff which I've downloaded over the years. Dani. If it's still working, your own domestic equipment should do the job fine. Granted, running a connection between the headphone socket of your hifi and your computer will likely have a few buffs running round in horrified amazement. But if they're not original recordings, and they're only for your own pleasure, and you're not planning to throw the originals out, I can't see much in the way of a problem If you don't still possess a cassette player or record deck, they can be picked up from places like Maplin and at easily affordable prices. |

02 Dec 13 - 09:23 AM (#3580675) Subject: RE: What cassette would you put on CD From: Will Fly Ah, GUEST, thanks for the heads-up - but the reader of choice, for me, is the late Muchael Hordern... :-) As for modern cassette players, there are plenty on Amazon, some with Audacity software enclosed on a CD. I use an old Sony Walkman myself, which gives perfectly acceptable results, and connect the headphone socket from that to the sound input on my Mac. SqueezeMe - sound (!) advice about backup. My hard drive crashed about 2 months ago. I had backup on an external terabyte drive, but it wasn't bang up to date, so I lost some data. A lesson learned. |

02 Dec 13 - 09:33 AM (#3580680) Subject: RE: What cassette would you put on CD From: GUEST,kendall This is incredible. I just bought a rig that converts cassettes and vinal records to CDs! It works like a charm. $207.00. It also has am/fm radio. I also have two different rigs that have to go through the computer's sound card. They also work, but more complicated and I have no patience. I can send you one of those for the postage. First come, first served and the Devil take the hindmost. |

02 Dec 13 - 10:22 AM (#3580698) Subject: RE: What cassette would you put on CD From: Elmore I have plenty of cd's and a cd player in the car, which is a good thing, because here in the mountains of North Georgia (USA), the only radio station that comes in loud and clear is the one that features Limbaugh, Hannity et al. |
