USB streaming hi-fi's
I've seen some micro hi-fi's advertised with " 2 way USB PC connection", as
well as playing your mp3's stored on your PC through this stereo....would it also allow you to record from, say the cassette on the hi-fi, to software on your PC? This would be a very handy way for me to transfer old recordings from tape onto mp3's onto cd. Anyone got one of these gizmo's? |

You can already do this, without paying an arm and a leg for new equipment.
I have recorded numerous cds from old vinyl records, cassetes etc. -- Tzortzakakis Dimitriïs major in electrical engineering, freelance electrician FH von Iraklion-Kreta, freiberuflicher Elektriker dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr Ï "Richard Blackwood" Ýãñáøå óôï ìÞíõìá ...

Seen one: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=RDX-150 Can't honestly say I have anything on cassette that I'd bother to digitize, and although I have LPs and 45s, currently I have no turntable, so I have no need for the device. -- Tired of spam in your mailbox?

I have quite a few cassettes that i want to convert. I thought this would be quite an easy way to do it. I need a new hi-fi for my spare room anyway so..... |

How is this different from plugging the tapedeck output into the soundcard in your computer? What value does this gizmo add? Or is the real value in the bundled software? Surely you can buy Nero software without the hardware box. bin |

Just connect the rec out of tape2 in your amplifier with a RCA/stereo
headphone jack to the line in input of your sound card.Then, with a recording programm like the AV Rack which I am using (refrain from freeware as they are usually full of spyware) record the tape.record on your hard drive.Then, with a burning programm like nero burn them on cd. -- Tzortzakakis Dimitriïs major in electrical engineering, freelance electrician FH von Iraklion-Kreta, freiberuflicher Elektriker dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr Ï "Richard Blackwood" Ýãñáøå óôï ìÞíõìá ...

Re your comment about freeware being full of spywa
If you know of any spyware included in programs used for audio processing, then post the information here. Those reading this newsgroup will be very grateful for the information. I am using Wave Repair and I am not aware of any spyware included in it. bin Dimitrios Tzortzakakis wrote: Just connect the rec out of tape2 in your amplifier with a RCA/stereo headphone jack to the line in input of your sound card.Then, with a recording programm like the AV Rack which I am using (refrain from freeware as they are usually full of spyware) record the tape.record on your hard drive.Then, with a burning programm like nero burn them on cd. -- Tzortzakakis Dimitriïs major in electrical engineering, freelance electrician FH von Iraklion-Kreta, freiberuflicher Elektriker dimtzort AT otenet DOT gr Ï "Richard Blackwood" Ýãñáøå óôï ìÞíõìá ...

You still need a tape player to plug into it. |

You still need a tape player to plug into it. Ah, sorry the item I was originally referring to were micro style 'hi-fi's like you might use in a kitchen or small bedroom. They have the usual CD player/radio/cassette/speakers but some have usb ports which allow 'streaming' to or from the PC. I beleive they are intended for connecting to your pc and playing mp3 collecteins for example from a 'hi-fi' rather than through your pc speakers. http://www.comet.co.uk/comet/html/cache/284_235881.html Why people wouldnt just burn cd's and play them I dont quite follow, but what I want to know is can it go the other way around? i.e. can you play a cassette on these 'hi-fi' and record through your pc with something like Nero wave editor or audacity? Many thanks. |
