Further to the resource that Vito provided, I have copied quite a lot of
vinyl records to the computer with Audacity. The following may accelerate
your learning (or confuse you completely smile).
Firstly, make use of Audacity's record level meter before you start
recording to avoid disappointment later. Ask if you need more details.
One feature I have found really useful is Audacity's label facility and it
is even better in 2.1.3 than previously. A label can be set at a point or
can cover a selection. My process is to create a label for each song. That
process is faster by using the store cursor position and select to stored
position options in 2.1.3. If you then select Export Multiple from the file
menu you can export each song (or whatever) to separate files. If you name
your labels appropriately the files will then be in the right order.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Recording Audio Cassettes
Hi All,
I'm new to the list and new to Audacity. My plan is to convert some audio
cassette tapes to MP3. I'm using a designated cassette deck with audio
outputs and a cable converting them to the smaller input jack on my Dell
Inspirin laptop. I've already installed Audacity 2.1.3 and the lame encoder.
I'm going through the Audacity for Blind Users manual now so I'm sure many
questions will follow. Any helpful suggestions tossed my way would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Steve
