Windows Forum / Windows Media / Player / November 2007Recording from vinyl or cassette tape
Using Windows Media Player version 11 is it possible to transfer albums/tracks from vinyl and cassette tapes to my PC hard drive? If so how is it done? > Using Windows Media Player version 11 is it possible to transfer > albums/tracks from vinyl and cassette tapes to my PC hard drive? If so how is > it done? If you have the Nero CD burning software, then that will probably include the Nero Wave Editor, which can do what you want (provided you can connect the record/cassette player). Otherwise, I gladly support the advice of Neil Smith [MVP Digital Media] and Candy, namely the free program Audacity (<http://audacity.sourceforge.net>). > > Using Windows Media Player version 11 is it possible to transfer > > albums/tracks from vinyl and cassette tapes to my PC hard drive?

I still have difficulty with cassettes, but I suspect that is a hardware problem at my end. My thanks to Frank. >Using Windows Media Player version 11 is it possible to transfer >albums/tracks from vinyl and cassette tapes to my PC hard drive? If so how is >it done? This page has instructions and videos on the steps needed : http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/knowledgecenter/howto/FromVinyltoC omputer_StepByStep.aspx It mentions Plus! analog recorder (which was never really very good) and which has been removed for download or purchase. Instead I'd recommend using Audacity to record from Line-In directly to MP3, or to WAV if you first want to run some of the pop/wow/flutter filters and generally clean up and fade-in/fade-out the recorded tracks. You can get that free from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs > >Using Windows Media Player version 11 is it possible to transfer > >albums/tracks from vinyl and cassette tapes to my PC hard drive?

I am now listening to tracks unheard for 30 years.... sad isn't it??? Templii 30 years isn't sad. I'm listening to the rock and roll from the early to mid fifties. I've still got more stuff to rip too. John >> >Using Windows Media Player version 11 is it possible to transfer >> >albums/tracks from vinyl and cassette tapes to my PC hard drive?
