There's a program available for download on the web, it's called RipVinyl. Cost is an astounding $7. If you have a soundcard, the program uses it. Take the signal from your cassette player (perhaps thru a mixer) into the soundcard. You can play the whole cassette side at once and the program will split the music into individual .WAV files putting the appropriate 2 sec. silence between tracks.
Then use something like Roxio EZ-CD creator (the SoundStream component) or one of the Nero flavors to convert the .WAV's to music CD format and burn the CD.
I find a mixer panel helps between the tape deck and the sound card because my Creative Labs card is looking for 700 millivolts as 0 dB and the tape deck's output (1.0 volt as 0 dB) is too hot for it.

Ron,
I can vouch for "ripvinyl" also. At present I'm converting about 300 cassettes of old LP's to CD's. This little program works great for $7. The only problem I've had is getting it to split a cassette that the LP was very scratchy or noisy on. Then you might have to split them manually which is no problem and if you're like me you'll get to hear some old goodies again when you do it that way. Then after I get them into the computer I use a program called "Depopper" which removes most of the various noises. It also does a very good job. I think it costs $18 but can't remember where I bought it. Anyway a search will turn it up. Hope this helps.......

| I just bought a new Dell Computer and am wanting to burn Cds from Analog. My sound board seems to have only one input "labeled microphone". I downloaded the "Ripvinyl" program which shows different cables that are used. Does any one know what kind of sound board is needed for this? Thanks.

Almost all sound cards have a mini stereo "line in" jack. I'm real surprised that Dell has dropped that feature. Probably saved them all of 3 cents.

Hi There are three prgrammes I can recommend 1 is Steinberg's (makes of Cubas) Audio cleaning labs delux 3 and Nero. you probably get these from PC World.cm I got mine form the UK branch
You can get a 30 day trail of Nero from www.nero.com.
Easy CD creator Spin Doctor was okay but buffered quite a bit and I had problems with it and XP. You are also better using a HF-FI separates. |

I just bought Steinberg's Clean 4.0 to burn vinyl. It comes with a little pre-amp that USB's into the computer and has software to cleanup the recording. I find out later the preamp is analog and only uses the USB for power. The A/D conversion takes place in the soundcard. I cannot get it to work. I get sound thru the speakers, but it will not record the vinyl. Steinberg has no telephone support. You have to go to their discussion forums, but no help there. It is apparent from the problems everyone has with this product, that it is a piece of
sh!t program. I agree  |
