If you can recall when audio cassettes were considered as revolutionary, you probably taped LPs on them while marveling at the resulting technological innovation: being able to while travel about while privately enjoying music through a player that was not much larger than the cassette itself. And that most likely means you've got a mound of cassettes gradually rotting in some back closet!
It goes without saying that you're emotionally bound to the cassettes. The music on them not only represents your past, but is a portrayal of a time when musicianship and talent were valued because that was the only way a musical act could endure. But naturally, audio cassettes can also hold other items of the past: meetings, conference calls, interviews, verbal letters,speeches.
Also, it is not your fault that the cassette players you originally owned don't work any more - they've just passed away due to excessive maturity. But even if getting a new cassette player didn't need a major online expedition, you are too scared to risk playing your cassettes on them - they, too, are too old and infirm from overuse and neglect.
It hasn't been unfeasible to bring your audio cassette tapes into the modern age if you could cope with the cost. There are audio companies that will transform your cassettes into audio files that can be used MP3s or CDs. But it can involve sending the cassettes to and from them at your expense, and the bill usually is more than what it would cost to replace each cassette with a retail CD- the musical cassettes, that is.
But just as technology has evolved from from the boom box to the Walkman to the iPod, transforming a cassette to MP3 or CD is now much less of a logistical or financial inconvenience. There are now a variety of equipment and software that allow you to perform audio cassette conversion to CD or MP3 in your own home. But you need to look around for the best system.
Some are full-fledged tape decks while others aren't much larger than Walkmans. Some demand that you sign up for a music downloading service. Some need batteries and have to be plugged in; others are powered by your computer. Some use a single USB cable connection, others use a series of radio plugs. And of course, some are compatible with PCs, Macintoshes, or both.
Fortunately, there's a very easy way to figure them all out: Go to http://www.convert-to-mp3.net/from-audio-cassette. Here's why:
