Cassettes into CDs.

Is there a program that can convert cassettes into CDS?

I have some cassettes with very good sermons on it and some cassettes with music I love to burn CDs from.

I've used Audacity in the past. You just record the tapes via your input jack on your PC to mp3 or wave files, then burn them to CD.

audacity.com - it's free!

Thank you ishmael81.
Let me try this.

No problem - if you have any other questions I've done it several times, I can probably help...

I bought this little Jensen Cassette player at target for $20. It came with some simple software. I plug it into the front of my computer in any usb with the provided cord and hit play. it converts everything to mp3, loads it into my windows media player, Adds the information (song titles, artist, etc.) and it can all be edited real easy. Not bad for $20. The player also works by itself just to listen to cassettes with headphones.

That's pretty sweet too. Sounds a little easier than Audacity too.

Thomas offers a cassette-to-CD service for $15 or so.

Yes but that's Canadian, in US dollars it would be $149.95 (with an additional $6,492.84 for shipping). But RockerVu2 is in Europe so the whole package would only run her about 4 Euros.

All you have to do is go up to Vancouver and send it from there, can't be too expensive for you

I have been to Canada a few times in the past, but not since 9/11 when it got much tougher to cross the boarder without a passport (or a special U.S. drivers license).

I do a relative lot of US and French travel, so our family has passports. Kinda very useful

It would surprise me if more than 25% of U.S. residents have passports. I suspect that closer to 80% of Europeans have passports.

Well, when entire countries are only the size of a postage stamp you need a passport.........oops, went around the block and now I'm in a different country.

I haven't had a passport in over 10 years... we should get them just to have them.

Vonnie wil have to tell us about European people. But, if they are part of the EU, I didn't think you have to have a passport. Can you tell us more about this, Yvonne? You would know more about that than us.

I haven't gone between European countries in a few years now, so I don't know how that goes. I wanted to make a weekend trip to Spain this summer but that didn't happen.

When you are traveling in EU you must have and can show a valid identity Card.
There's no border control between the countries of the EU.
We have once had that our passports were checked when we crossed the Italian- Swiss border.
For countries outside the EU you need to have a valid indentity card.
So, for traveling inside Europe you need an identity card.

When you travel to the US or Canada or other countries outside Europe you need to have a valid passport.

I have a valid passport.

Does a health card or driver's license count as valid ID?

I don't think it took a check between France and Italy when we went some 10 years ago…

No a driver's license or a health card is not a valid ID.

So I take it that this ID card is issued by the EU, and required for travel between EU countries?

I know that in Washington State (U.S. state that boarders Canada) that you used to be able to travel between Canada and the U.S. with just a valid U.S. drivers license. But since the 9/11 incident they changed the laws and you either need a special drivers license (with additional info/authentication) or a passport to travel back and forth across the boarder.

Yes, the ID is requiered for travel between European countries.
