[Dixielandjazz] Tape problem

[Gerard Bielderman]

Dear listmates,
Can anybody advise me what to do with the following problem?
I'm putting all my tapes (with broadcasts since the early Sixties) on CD but
some tapes - after a while - start to squeake like a sick bird (because of
dryness I suspect) and this awful sound reaches the recording/playing head
and then is audible through the loudspeakers. When I wet the tape with a
cotton bud the sound disappears.... But is almost impossible to do this by
hand for a complete CD....
Does anybody have a better solution? Maybe Bud Taylor?
Thanks for any advice!
