[dba-Tech] Recording from Cassette Tape to .wav

Hi Lembit,
Sorry, "Boom Box" is a slang term for a portable cassette tape, CD, radio
with big speakers. I never had one before but my wife bought me one for
Christmas. I had always planned to do this direct from my stereo component
system.

I mis-placed the manual for my sound blaster card. I don't have RCA type
jacks on this cassette player. If I run a line from the headphone connector
of the cassette player into the line-in connector of the sound card will
that work?

John

what's a boom box?

is it a stereo with tape?

anyway, what you need is a SW for recording. there are lots for free or
pretty cheap on Internet.
years ago I had bought GoldWave for 40$. Still using it for some tasks.
but there are of course much better ones like Adobe Audition (expensive)
