What is the best way to transfer cassettes to digital audio at home?

Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Smokewagon,
The quick and easy answer would be to simply connect the headphone jack of the player to the mic jack on your PC or MAC. If you're on a PC you can use Audacity, which is free and open-source, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ , to record; Garage Band on a MAC. If you are particular, you can get a mixer that connects to the computer via USB or firewire and mix the levels to your liking. The same software mentioned above can support this. The attached link is a blog post that goes into great depth on this topic and even has product recommendations (by the users) to help make sorting this out a bit easier.

Good Luck!

Here is a step by step from Microsoft that will show you what you need and how to set up the equipment to transfer the audio from your cassettes to the computer and once you get it on the computer just burn them on your discs.
