[Dixielandjazz] A Player That Trasfers Cassettes & LPs

[Scott Anthony]

I have a Tascam Porta-Studio cassette recorder that does the job great. Just 
get a cable with 2 stereo RCA plugs on one end and a 1/8" stereo phono plug 
on the other and plug it right into your computer and record it with 
Audacity (free download).

I've got hundreds of cassettes from nice folks who have recorded the Golden 
Gate Rhythm Machine from 1984 when we started almost to the present, and 
have transferred lots of them this way.

If you want to save space and put up to 10 or 11 hours on one CD, you can 
download another free plugin for Audacity that allows you to save (actually 
Export) the files as MP3s.
