[Ohiodig] Digitizing Audiocassettes

[Sabharwal, Arjun]

Jane,

There are audio components with a cassette deck and CD-recorder in one unit, but you can buy them separately.  The benefit of that is that if the CD recorder or cassette desk dies you can buy the other and connect them with the standard RCA jack or digital audio wire.  I recommend Tascam or TEAC.  Some require CDs formatted for audio use, so a generic disk may not be the best.  Also, there may be temptation to buy a USB-connected cassette players.  Those are horrible, especially for music.

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend the hardware that they use to convert audiocassettes?

Thanks,
