I was going to suggest using CDEX Extractor as this also has a line input, though this wouldn't work if you can't have the cassette deck and laptop together. I'm not quite sure what exactly it is then that you want to do. In any recording process, you'll need them together.

Yeah, that thought did cross my mind *smile*. I'm usually not one to splash the cash unless I feel it's worth the investment, but firstly I use a laptop which only has a basic microphone input socket and secondly, the cassette player and laptop because of space alone can not reside in the same place. I do also have my netbook but I fear that too only has basic microphone input. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Godfrey-McKay To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2009 4:36 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: advice sought Why not use an ordinary cassette player and the free programme audacity?

I am looking for an accessible versatile mp3 recorder for converting my cassette collection in to mp3 for long term storage. I was wondering if someone could recommend something that would do the job, retain high quality and is easy to use? I'm by no means a newcomer to technology but as a rule digital recording and music don't particularly interest me so I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require a massive learning curve to use. Any help would be appreciated. __________ NOD32 3756 (20090110) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
