This is really interesting and helpful. Thank you very much!!

Do I need any special equipment to play the cassettes into the back of my computer (I think that what you’re saying) and I wonder how I save something as a “wave file” as I’ve never seen such a thing.

I’m not sure what that person told you since it got deleted, but here’s what I would do.

First, get a cable to go between your tape player and the mic input on your computer. It will probably look like a headphone jack on both ends of the cord.

Then, download and install a program called Audacity(free).

Hook the tape player up through the microphone input on your computer. Hit record in Audacity and play on the tape player at the same time. When the music stops, hit stop on Audacity.

Hit play to make sure it worked right. Then save the file.

Hope I explained that well.

Thanks very much. This is not too difficult for me to do. I have been replacing (sone) tapes with CDs but on the whole they’re not worth it, just one or two tracks are worth saving. So I will do this!
