OT-cd creation

Generally headphone output from cassette decks/players or RCA output connector can go directly to the compute line-in jack.

Sounds like a good idea. I can give that a try. Many thanks!! S.Smith

yeah, just run it through the line in, or the mic jack if you only have that. the quality will depend on the quality of your soundcard. i recorded all my LPs to mp3 a couple years ago (the quality isn't as good as a ripped cd, but they were old LPs that never were recorded on cd). i just ran the cable through the line in and used recording software to make the file. it's pretty simple, time consuming, but simple, and a hell of a lot cheaper than buying one of those cd burners for a stereo system (which aren't that great anyway).

Thanks for the info. I will give it a try. S.Smith

Seconded. I too did a fair number of my old LP's like this - should be exactly the same for your cassettes. Main problem for me was the time, as alanjt mentioned - there is no way to speed things up. End product ain't too bad though. Good luck.

Thanks.......If I can find the time this weekend, I will give it a shot. S.Smith

With old turntables you have to go through an receiver/amp. The signal is different than coming from a cassete player/deck. There are devices one can buy to go from the turntable to the computer. Take a look at these:

Thank you Bob. S. Smith
