I too use goldwave, much more speech-friendly. I can also help off list
if you like, but I wouldn't recommend a usb turntable, bad quality.

I used GoldWave to record my records and cassettes to my hard drive. I
understand that listers have used Audacity to do this. If you use a
cassette deck, you will need to connect to your computer through a
preamp. I used a preamp for my records since my turn table had no
volume. I used a cassette player to do my cassettes so I didn't need
the preamp for this. There are vinyl to MP3 USB converters for records
and cassettes which can be used to record your media to your computer.
I actually used one of these to record my 78s since my turn table only
had 33 and 45 speeds. I did not purchase a cassette converter for
reasons mentioned above. There are other listers who have used many
more recordding features than I have. They also have done serious
editing. Whichever program you use, however, you will need to split
your recording into tracks. Thus, you can put them on CDs or play them
on your computer or other media players. If not, you would have one
big file which isn't very handy. I can help more off list if desired.

Subject: Digitizing Audiocassettes Using Window-Eyes-Compatible Software
Hello, everyone.
I am looking into ways of getting material on audiocassettes converted
to MP3 or another suitable format. Has anyone purchased special
cassette decks that will do so? Am I tied into using a particular
program to do the digitizing with such a deck? Alternatively, I realize
I could use a conventional tape player to send the output of the audio
to my computer. I am not familiar with using audio software, so the
simpler the recording package, the better. I don't think I'll be doing
a lot of editing; I will just convert the tracks as they are.
Thank you for all help.
Craig
