Karen: It sounds way harder than it really is. I had a bunch of stereo cassettes of music that's no longer available commercially that were deteriorating slowly, and I was able to digitize them with Gold Wave, and I am by no means a techie. Your sound card is where your speakers are probably plugged in now. There are maybe three jacks, and you'll have to figure out which one is the input. You might be able to use the microphone jack on the front of your PC, but on the two units I've done this with, they're mono. That probably doesn't matter if you're just after one track. Also, if you want to save some time and you're using Gold Wave, you should be able to play your cassette at the fastest speed, and then use Gold Wave to edit it down to normal speaking speed. Good luck.

Now, I'm even more nervous about my potential for doing this. I don't even know how to get to my sound card which, apparently, is the first step in this process. then, can i just use my 4 track recorder/player to transfer one track at a time? this all sounds very daunting. Maybe I'll just give the tape and a tape player to my son and let him figure it out! thanks again, Karen For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
