Converting Cassette Tapes To Audio Cd'S

[CMHomeboy78]

I have a lot of old cassettes that I would like to convert to a digital format.

If anyone has information on where it might be done I would like to know.

Thanks.

You can do it yourself. But you need a tape player and computer. There is a free program you can download which facilitates recording tape to computer. Sorry can't remember the name as its at home.

I think the software I used was Audacity but there are many out there to use.

Audacity is good, and free.

To be honest it isn't worth the effort. I've tried in the manner suggested by using a PC and tape player and the results were very underwhelming.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm sure it would be cheaper to do it myself but I'm busy with a lot of other things so I'd like to find a shop... if one exists.

Thanks again.

You probably know more about Chiang Mai at present than anyone living. So if you hear of anyone who can do this conversion please let me know. Grazie.

there is a shop at Pantip plaza that does conversions on the ground floor. somewhere left to Bangkok Bank. I do my video conversions there and I am sure they do audio too. prices are reasonable.

Many thanks.

I'll check them out.

Can't you just download your favourite songs from You Tube ?

There is also a guy at Computer Plaza or Icon Plaza upstairs that does an excellent job removing the noise and so forth, however last time I was there it looks as though the repair shops up there have shifted around and relocated to different parts of the complex. I'm sure you could ask any of the shops up there and they would put you in contact with him. He was there for years and most of the people at the repair shops know him.

Sorry it's been a while and I can't remember his name or find his card.

Another lead that I'll follow up on.

The possibility of improving the sound quality is a plus also.

Much appreciated.
