Putting tape cassettes onto computer

[kelfoan]

I have alot of tapes I want to put on my I pod. Is it possible to link a cassette player to my computer to put them on the hard drive? then transfer them onto an i pod? If so what kit would I need?

Yes - it's fairly easy! All you need is a lead from your cassette player into your soundcard's "line in" socket (usually the standard 3.5mm connector).

Then you can use free software such as Audacity to record and/or edit the sound:

Then save to mp3 and import into ITunes.

That should at least get you started!

If you have more money than sense

I'd just download the songs off t'internet rather than bother with the tapes.
