Old Taper

After just moving my 5000+ cassette tapes from one city to yet another city, I broke down and bought the Xitel Import Deluxe to transcribe them. If anyone has any suggestions or advice before I start, I would appreciate it.

Now if only I can find the time to do it...

Downloading Music From the Taper Section

When I download songs from the taper section I can listen to them but they don't appear to be stored anywhere on my computer. I'd really like to burn them for the car. What do I need to do?

downloading to burn

stellablue1957 - the quick answer is to rightclick on a tune to download, and make note of where the system says it's going to store the download. maybe tell it to save to your Desktop?

I never even heard of torrent before I started trying to do these who downloads for my old lady... so you get the idea about my illiteracy and ignorance of 'puter shit.

CC Joe,
Depends on what format (.shn, .flac, ) the show was download in, the file extension will tell you. You will need to decompress the files to .wav in order to listen to them ( or get the.shn plugin for winamp)

peace,
Ron

thankx. apparently they are

thankx.

apparently they are not flac, since I downloaded some flac program but it didn't work. what is the name of the .shn program? winamp is a decompress program?

by the way, this is freaking Swahili for me, I never heard any of these words before.

I haven't tried this again, I'm waiting for the next rainy day, but I appreciate your advice.

thanks,

peace.

transferring cassettes to CDs

I'm not that technically savvy and was wondering if someone could explain or give a link that explains the process and equipment required to transfer cassettes to CDs or MP3s. I have a bunch of bootlegs that pretty much just sit there out of fear that I will ruin them if I play them and would like to make them electronic.
