Hi, all. I'm back to one of my old projects, and I'm havnig trouble reconstructing what I learned last time. I'm hoping that someone here has found a nice explanation somewhere about doing what I'm trying to do.
I have a bunch of audio cassettes. I'd like to record them to something like a .wav file and burn the audio to CDs. (My car no longer has a cassette player.) I have read the "Analog Ripping HOWTO" at http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Rip/rip-analog.html. I can follow those instructions and get audio recorded to my hard drive, but it requires me to babysit the recording and stop the "rec" program between each song on the tape. Wow, that sounds horrible! I have plenty of disk space (the 160 GB drive). I have no problems with recording an entire side of a cassette and then later using some other software to help me split the one giant .wav into one .wav per song. I even saw an app to do that or help me do that several months ago, but now I can't find it among my bookmarks. For once, I'm not very interested in learning all of the details of this aspect of Linux. I'm just trying to convert dozens of cassettes to CDs so that I can listen to them in my car. I've found a bunch of interesting applications (Audacity, Studio, Rosegarden, etc.) and I'm learning more than I really wanted to about audio in Linux (OSS, ALSA, aRts, oh my!). I'd love for someone to post a link to a little magic app out there that will do all of this for me! ---Tom -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
