Subject: RE: Ripping Audio Cassettes
I recently transferred a slew of music and spoken word cassettes from an
APH talking book cassette player with a wire-like cable with
one-eighth-inch
jacks at each end and the microphone jack of my computer. APH's cassette
players were reasonably high quality. Initially there was some guesswork
involved in getting the cassette player volume right, but after that it
went
smoothly.
I used the software application GoldWave to record and edit the files.
GoldWave is free for the first numerous uses, after which there is a price
tag of something like $30 or $40 US. The GoldWave manual is pretty good.
If
your friend is still intimidated, there are good podcast tutorials, and
people on this list are eager to help solve specific problems.

Thanks Vicky, unfortunately, she doesn't have a Plextalk. She does have a
Book Sense, but I don't think it will do anything similar to what you
describe.

Hi Evan, Does your girl friend have a Plextalk? If yes, she can hook it
up
to a cassette player, with a patch cord and record the casette to the
flash card of the Plextalk. Then tell the Plextalk to convert that Daisy
recording to CDDA format and it will record this onto a blank disk. She
can then put this disk in her computer and import it. Although the music
will now be on the computer, she will need to find it and rename each
track, which will just be listed as "Track 1" and so on.

Thanks Dan. I've heard of Soundforge. If I recall correctly, it's a
comprehensive audio program, with a fairly steep learning curve, which
would be intimidating to the person who wants to convert the cassettes,
and also not cheap. Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this.
I haven't heard of Audio Addition. What kind of money are we talking
about for that one?
Thanks again.
Evan

I use Soundforge and some times Audio Additon for converting cassettes
to
digital format. Unfortunately, this requires real time recording.
Then
you
can save the file in whatever format you wish to be [placed onto an
IDevice
or cd or other audio player.

Guys, I need to find a method for ripping audio cassettes. I know there
are
cassette decks with USB ports on them, but I need to find accessible
software to do the ripping.
I'm getting this as a Christmas present for my sweetheart, who is using
JAWS
13 and a Windows 7 machine. Also, if possible, the software should be
as
unintimidating as possible for her.
Anyone got any ideas that won't cost an arm and a leg?
Thanks much.
Evan
