If you can't do it internally on your computer, here's another way:\n\nYou will need a tape recorder with R(ight) and L(eft) line inputs.  A VCR will work wonderfully if you dont have a tape recorder because the VCR sound recording quality is darn near CD quality.  You will also need a "stereo "1/4 to phono plug (RCA type)" patch cord which you can easily get from Radio Shack.  This cord should look like a small headphone plug on one end and split into 2 phono plugs on the other.  Plug the headphone end into your "line out" or "headphone" jack on your computer (usually green in color).  Plug the other 2 ends into the "line in" jack of your tape recorder or VCR.  (If using a VCR the channel needs to be set to "Aux" or "line" in order to record.  You should have it hooked to a tv to monitor the sound - but you will get no picture.)  Simply hit "Record" on the recorder/VCR and play the VCD on your computer.  The recorder should record the sound from the computer as it plays the VCD.  After the recording is finished, rewind the tape to the beginning.  Now you will need to switch your cord around.  Plug the headphone end of the cord into the "line in" or "input" jack on your computer (usually red in color).  Then plug the other 2 ends into "line out" or "headphone" jack on the recorder/VCR .  Your computer should have some recording software such as Microsoft media recorder or something like that already installed.  Use that software to record from the recorder/VCR as you play back the recording.  You should hear it playing through your computer's speakers.  Your computer's recording software should be set (in "settings menu") to record "line in" and in "stereo".  You will also be able to select which format to record in, such as MP3 or WMA or others.    Once you've done this, your music should be able to be copied right on to a CD using your CD burning software.  Hope this helps!  Good luck!

You're going to need a tape player that has a line-out jack. From there, you can plug it into the line-in jack of your computer, and use a WAV editor to save the audio tape contents to an audio file. (Play the tape as the WAV editor is recording.)\n\nFrom there, you can take the audio file and burn it to a disc using Windows Media Player or any other number of media players.\n\n(Although, for all that trouble - it might just be better to buy the compact disc. If the tape is worn, that will reflect in the audio recording on the disc, unless you go through great length to remaster it.)

If you're willing to pay a little bit for it, DUCK SOUP at The Grove sells a record player that transfers to cd.  Depending on how many LP's you plan to transfer, that may be the way to go.\n\nNo idea on the legalities involved, alas.

Yes.  Several companies make multi-track recorders.  The cheapest way to go is a four track cassette for about $100.  A little more expensive would be a small, digital multi track unit.  Record your instruments into the recorder - one track at a time - until you have the music done the way you want it to sound, then run wires from the outputs on the recorder to the inputs of your computer's sound card.  Once you have it downloaded into your computer's music program, it is a simple matter to activate your cd burner and build your own cd.

Ebay has the vinyl.  Some of the more friendly radio stations will convert your vinyl to cd if you provide the cd.  Worth a shot!\nhttp://search.ebay.com/lean-red-box_Music_W0QQcatrefZC6QQcoactionZcompareQQcoentrypageZsearchQQcopagenumZ1QQfnuZ1QQfromZR10QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQsacatZ11233QQsaprchiZQQsaprcloZQQssPageNameZRC0023

You have to make sure your audio recording burn to the cd is in audio cd format (cda extension), latest window media player can handle the job.\nAnother thing is you can only burn the track to a cd-r not a cd-rw to play on regular cd player and older cd drive.

You want to record FROM the computer TO a cassette? Then ignore the other responses, because you want a patch cable that will run from the line out of your computer to the line in or mic of your cassette recorder. All you have to do is connect your soundcard to your cassette recorder and then play the material back on your computer as you record it on the cassette. You can even put together a playlist and play back as many minutes of audio as a side of a tape will hold.\n\nHowever, the other resonses are correct in that you probably are better off burning the material to CD and getting an inexpensive portable CD player. Good luck.

The equipment and software I have to accomplish that task is Neromix by Nero and the cable that came with it. the cable would go from the back of your cassette to the inputs of your sound card. I have not actually used it yet because a fire destroyed all the LPS and cassettes that I intended to transfer.  However I plan to start soon with some that have been given to me and some found at flea markets and yard sales.  The new Nero Program may actually have this ability built in also. It seems pretty full featured.

If it is on a DVD, the recording is already digital.  Getting content off of a CD or DVD is called "ripping" and yes, it is possible, but what tools you will need to use will depend upon whether and how the DVD is copyright-protected.\n\nThere are lots of free, open-source, tools for DVD ripping that can be found at sourceforge.net (see link below), but they are mostly for the Linux OS and, as far as I can tell, not specifically meant for ripping copyright-protected DVDs.  I could be wrong, however, so feel free to browse through the list (just search for "DVD ripper").\n\nIf you do a Google search for the same subject, there is no shortage of proprietary non-free software tools for DVD ripping, including ones that claim to be able to bypass any copyright protection scheme.\n\nI hope that this helps!

Canopus makes some good ones.  I use mine to convert old VHS home movies to digital, then edit and burn to DVD.\n\nhttp://www.canopus.com/products/videoconversion.php

You'll need to select a media format, i.e. Windows media player or whatever. Put a CD in the burner, and a small window should pop up asking you what you what you want to do.\n\nYOu should select copy data to CD\nthe windows media player will open\nthen you go to the program, copy it into the player\nhit record\nit should burn it right onto the disk.\nIf it has copyright stuff, you may have trouble, sometimes they only allow the program to be on one machine.
