Thanks, the audacity guide is very helpful because it tells you how to set the ideal input volume.

Audacity is indeed a great program.
Note that the manual refers to the "stable" version. I think that these days, the "beta" version is to be preferred (1.3.13 last time I looked). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I use one of these tape-to-usb players which I had to buy because I no longer owned an actual tape deck. It works pretty well though. You can use it with Audacity and, since it is USB, you don't have to deal with the input volume issues mentioned above.

Thanks for the tip on the USB-powered converter. Since my computer doesn't have a line-in, I'm keen on digitalizing privately some old cassettes that were never transferred properly to CD by the recording company.

Oh, again on Audacity, check out YouTube for Audacity tutorials. There is one particular
guy who has done a whole series of them, aimed at Librivox volunteer readers. However, you would learn a lot about Audacity generally from them. 1 person has voted this message useful |
