84345 2002-09-29 03:56:00 I know this isn't really a computer query.

Have several tapes that I would like to transfer onto CD's. Does anyone know:

(a) if this can be done.

(b) who to contact/where to send tapes

I'm in the Bay of Plenty.

Don't know of anyone personally in BoP. One of the (samll) things my company does here in Wtn. But having said that I believe that someone in Tauranga is on this forum and may help. Otherwise get back on this forum to me while I have a look at contacts.

84348 2002-09-29 04:08:00 Yes this can be done, but transfering music onto other media is illegal.

So you need to do it yourself, if you have a CD writer that is.

1. Get an audio cable (probably 3.5mm) and connect it from the line out or headphone socket on your stereo to the line in socket on your sound card.

2. Use a recording programme to record the music while the tape is playing. Windows movie maker works well for me, though there are a lot more dedicated software that you can download for free.

3. Split the music into separate tracks if you want to

4. Burn them to a CD using your CD writer software.

Easy Peasy

Never thought about the legalities of it all.

You make it sound so easy too. Might even give it a try, when I get all the bits together.

Thanks for all the info.
