If your soundcard has a "Line In" use that one, otherwise mic. If your tape recorder has got an "Line Out" use that one (best quality). If not so, use the earphones out and dial volume to one third. In this case, you really have to experiment with the volume to get the best quality. > > 2) Translate those files into wav files to be burned with xcdroast. Use audacity to record, edit and export them as wav files.
