How dooo i do it? I have this german speaking helpy thingy my teacher recorded for me, but its on a tape and i only have one tape recorder in the kitchen which isnt good for revising =/ so i need it moved to my computer. Thankies.
well, I don't know how to do it without ordering something off the internet. http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/audio/9778/ I'm afraid this is the only thing I can think of Although a more drawn out way is probably to download the program Audacity (I'll post the link after I've finished typing), and (providing you have a laptop) go down to the kitchen and record it, then export it into an mp3 file. That's what I do ^_^ http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
I think i might just record it using the mic on my computer. good point is that it's a mac, so the screen and everything is all packed together. bad thing is that its still a desktop =/
Is there an audio input socket on the computer? Is so you just need to get a lead to connect between that and the headphone socket on the tape player (Maplin will have something suitable). Then you will get better quality than a microphone, plus no background noise.
Either you connect the tape thingie to your PC using line-out on the tape, and line-in on your PC. Get a special thing to do it for you. Or record it using a microphone.
Don't record it from the tape deck speakers to the computer's mic because that will just suck. Do the line-in thing.
Well, it seems you need a geek. so, Good video that explains it: http://labrats.tv/episodes/ep112.html Software that does it: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ And the needed cable: http://www.soletronics.com/ssproduct.asp?pf_id=10135026
Yeah, I had to do this for a wedding once. I bought a cable from Radio Snack - 1/8" stereo to 1/8" stereo, I think. Plugged one end into my computer, and the other into the headphone jack of my old cassette walkman. I opened a new file in an audio editing program, started recording, and hit play on the walkman. Had to do a bit of fiddling on the volume, but it came out fine. Lex
I didn't think of that, it depends on the tape deck. I have an old stereo from the '80s, and it uses the type of cable I posted, but that is what you want if its a walkman or something like that.
