Cassette to Compact Disc recorder (Not the one connected pc)

by vinh359 - 6/29/09 2:12 PM

Im having a hard time trying to find out a player that would allow my dad to convert his old cassette tapes.He used in those tapes that would insert in the radio player, But since compact disc is so popular my dad asked me to find a machine that would allow him to convert it. Wondering if i could get any ideas. Thanks

Almost any disc recorder out there should do it for you, but

your problem is finding the output connection on the radio. Of course if you have a cassette deck, it would've been so easy (REC/LINE OUT) to the disc recorder. Does this radio cassette player have an earphone connection (it's not ideal but it could be use).

Ignore my last reply. I was wrong, sorry.

I just put a cd media in my Toshiba recorder, but it won't load. So I guess not all recorder can burn cd. Sorry about that. All my conversion has been using a computer.

Component units

I'm sure that somewhere on the market is a stand alone CD recorder unit to copy from CD to CD or from an external device to CD. It is pretty simple with a PC but the format must match with the CD plater. The normal CD player and all of the commerical CDs for sale are in the PCM stereo, .WAV format, 16 bit and recorded CDs must match this or they can't be played except in the PC or device on which they were burned. Some CD players are now also able to play MP3 files, both in home units and car stereo units but the MP3 format is compressed and does not provide anywhere near the fidelity of the original tracks before they are converted/transposed/ripped.

Actually if one doesn't worry about playing the music...

on a cd player then the music can be put on a dvd disc even if it's in PCM format. It certainly would hold lots of cassette music. I recorded some music on 8 hour mode and it still sounded pretty good.

My dad is horrible when it comes to computer. Since he is old he willing to pay the extra cash for like a player that will do it for him but i just can't find a name for it or like at least a machine out there that is willing to do it.

No this doesn't have to be involve with computer at all.

What I meant was to get a dvd recorder, then record the music to a dvd disc and then you play the disc on a dvd player or the recorder. You just can play them in the car, that so...of course unless the car has a dvd player.
