    Man I am really struggling with this. I have some old Jim Rome Smackoff shows on cassette tape that I want to put on CD so I can listen to them in my car. Also, is there a way to put a complete show of his on one CD?

    any help would be great.

    Just play the cassette into a microphone and record it using the Windows sound record. Then just convert the wav files to MP3 files and burn to a CD...

    Also, if you have audio in (on your sound card), you could stream it in that way rather than using a mic.

    That's the only way I currently know how to do it, but it's sounds bad. I'd prefer not to sound like I set a speaker next to a mic (if that's what I thnk your saying.)

    plus I think with s. record, you only get 60 secs of record time.

    Connect the headphone output on your cassette tape player to the line-in on your computer sound card. Mic input on most sound cards aren't powerful enough to take the output from stereo output.

    Software wise, use Audacity. It's free, and works like a charm.
