thank you so much  Ken.  can't find any program on this computer. (grandkids are out of town) ha, ha,    max

One example is Roxio Easy Media Creator(surrent version is 8). This program does many things including transferring audio cassettes to CD, using its LP and Tape Assistant module. Other smaller programs that can do this are Audacity and Spin It Again, and there are others--do a Google search for tape to CD.

This not really a CD issue as much as it is an audio capture challenge. My suggestion would be to post in the audio editing forum.

Assuming the casstte player is connected correctly to your sound card line-in jack, then it is a simple matter to use a recording program to capture the input. I use a program called Audacity (Google it, it's free). I capture the audio to the program, then export to MP3 or WAV format. Once the files are captured, it's completely straghtforward to burn these files to audio CD format.

thanks OSPREY, that is the problem, can't find a program that will let me load from cassette player to computer.      thanks again will try to find the program you suggested.    max

The program is not what will allow you to capture the audio. You need to set up the appropriate cable from the line-out of the cassette player to the line-in of your sound card. Usually, this will be dual-RCA to stereo mini jack. Then it's just a matter of setting the recording source to line, as opposed to microphone for example.

My son does all this stuff. I've never actually set it up myself, so I apologize if I sound like I'm guessing.
