I was asked how to capture David's music from
cassette to computer for uploading to the web and to the blog. At this time you
will have to send or upload the files to my website (see below) and I will list
them for you. I will also be happy to accept any material by snail
mail.
Here is how to perform this task:
Digitizing David's music
can be easy or hard, depending on your computer knowledge and your resources.
The simplest method, which is what I used to capture his music from a cassette,
is to connect the output of your stereo cassette to the stereo line in of your
audiocard (light blue).
I've written a little program that you can use to record the music directly to an MP3 file. You may download the program here. Click on MP3Utility.exe and download it. Simply run the installation program.
This is the program icon on your desktop.
This is the interface. Click Record to capture the audio and Stop will appear. You may set the recording interval time.
I would suggest that you start the recording process, stop, and then listen to the MP3 file (use this program, Winamp or WMP) to make sure the volume is ok. Try to avoid a very high volume which might cut off the loud peaks. The mp3's will be labeled David-0001.Mp3 and up.
As time goes on, I will attempt to make this program more user friendly.
You may now play any of the mp3's which reside in the program directory, default is C:\Program Files\MP3Recorder.
After completing the recording click Send (you must be connected to the internet for this to work) and you may upload your file from the program directory: default is C:\Program Files\MP3Recorder.
Use the little folder on the right of the page to upload.
You may upload files using this site also: http://www.davidcaro.com/Wex/default.asp
If there is a problem, let me know. You may also mail the tapes to me and I can do this for you and place them on CD's. Either way is fine for me.
