Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes
Sure it will. If you can record through a mic using a mic jack, you can get a cord with a resistor in it from radio shack and use that. You can, if I remember right, specify the quality of mp3 the machine generates. You would at worst have to figure a way to cut the tape files into segments. The real question is should you do this at all. If they're personal tapes, go for it. But commercial tapes usually don't hold up well. You have heard the tapes and know what condition they're in, of course. My wife's commercial tapes were so bad after years that there was no way I could tune the recorder to get the best sound because there was no best sound. Personal tapes usually have better quality. Good luck. Btw, make sure it's a stereo cable if the recordings are stereo. Good luck. - Original Message - From: Evan Reese ment...@dslextreme.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2012 7:38 PM Subject: Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes Thanks Vicky, unfortunately, she doesn't have a Plextalk.

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. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Evan Reese Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2012 7:38 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes Thanks Vicky, unfortunately, she doesn't have a Plextalk.

RE: Ripping Audio Cassettes
That's kind of more then necessary. Now he said she doesn't have one, but the easiest thing to do especially if we were dealing with the ever so cool and awesome PTR2 is just hook it up to the PC in it's card drive mode and go into the Book DIR 01 folder and pick out the WAV or MP3 files. I'd do it in WAV by the way just to get an exact coppy. Oh yeah, this would also work with the PTP1 AKA the Plextalk Pocket.

Re: Ripping Audio Cassettes
Hi, Yeah that's right you don't need to purchase any expensive device for that purpose as it's enought to hook it up to the computer using the line-in cable with jacks 3,5 mm on both ends, setting up your sound card (recording tab and line-in mode the command line mmsys.cpl) and a good radio which I bet you have. Then you can use any recording program of your choice. I myself use MP3 Direct Cut because as opposed to other programs such as Sound forge Adobe Audition etc. where you have to convert the output recording into .mp3 from .wav, MP3 Direct Cut does record directly into mp3 so no extrawork is needed.

I'm seriously thinking about re ripping all the cd's again. I'm considering WMA lossless, or Mp3 at 320 k bit. Any suggestions? I hear people say do not do joint stereo? What do you audiophiles out there suggest? Also is Windows media player up to the task? I know it can do both mp3 and wma lossless formats.

Re: ripping audio
Hi Rick, Windows Media Player is indeed up to the task, I would rip at 320 kb/ps, 44.1 khz. That's what all my cd's are ripped at. Or, if you want to save space on your hard drive, then you could go for 256 or even 192 kb/ps, the quality would still be quite good.

Re: ripping audio
Rick, Hydrogen Audio has a full discussion on the joint stereo controversy, including extensive commentary from one of the leading members of the development teams of the technology. With recent Lame codecs, the technology has fully matured and I now rip all my stereo CD's at 256 VBR in joint stereo using Exact Audio copy. Nothing beats EAC at any price. Joint stereo now offers a better listenable sound with the same or smaller file size than CBR. Try ripping a few of your favorite albums with EAC using both and then decide.

Ripping Audio from MPEG and AVI
I found this fantastic and very accessible program, called River Past Audio Converter, which will take audio from virtually anything and encode it to virtually anything, as long as you have the appropriate codecs to read or write the source and destination formats on your system. The demo will only convert the first two minutes of the file, but that was enough to make me want it. My only problem is I think fifty dollars is a bit much for this. Has anyone any suggestion for something that does the same thing that River Past does for maybe half the price? Thanks in advance.

Ripping audio off DVD tracks?
Bruce Springsteen's new CD, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, is one of those new-fangled double-sided CDs, with 13 audio tracks on one side, and three DVD tracks on the other. Two of the DVD tracks are videos of Bruce et al performing two more bonus songs. I had no trouble ripping the 13 audio tracks to my hard drive, using Easy CD-DA Extractor. But, as I have neither a DVD drive, nor any DVD ripping software, I can't access the DVD tracks, at all. But I'd really like to have wav/aac files of those two bonus tracks. Is there anyone out there with the requisite hardware and software, who can rip these tracks for me, if I snail mail you the CD? Thanks very much.

Ripping Audio Songs from a Music DVD
Hi I recently bought 16 classical CDs which were on a music DVD - each track is dolby surround sound coded. My query is that I would like to add them to my hard drive collection for easy access - can I rip them off the DVD as I can a Music CD? If so, how? Being encoded dolby surround sound, is this a problem or will it still be played by Media Player, etc.? Also can the titles and track be automatically looked up on the internet database to save nameing them all? As music is probably going the way of the DVD for greater storage, I assume this query will soon not be so unusual. Thanks in anticipation for any response.
