Convert all my cassette tapes to mp3

I’ve already bought most of my favorite songs on CD anyway. I have a tape player for the rest of my cassettes. I would rather free up this goal for something else.

I’m Native American and had some old traditional songs my grandmother sang in the early 1900’s which were originally recorded on wax cylinders, then converted to reel to reel, and finally cassette tape. Now I have them on MP3 and hope to eventually edit out the background noise.

I know these conversions won’t sound great, but I don’t want to lose these songs….but I don’t love them enough to buy them again.

This is one of my 2007 Resolutions.

I’m planning on starting and finishing this goal in the summer.
