Hi all,

I have a question: I have several hundred Grateful Dead "bootlegs"

that
I want to copy to CD before they turn to dust. I have tried playing
them directly into my PC but they come out sounding terrible. Hissy

and
with odd clicking sounds. I presume this is due to internal noises
picked up on the audio inputs. So I am looking at the possibility

of
buying a component burner. I am leaning towards the Sony RCD-W500C
because it apparently also has a 5 CD changer (my current changer

is 10
years old and dying). But at $300 it's a little pricey. So I was

hoping
maybe some folks could share whatever experiences they have. In
particular, is there an easy way to overcome the PC noise problem

I'm
having? My Dead tapes are mostly of very high quality and I don't

want
crummy copies of them. If there are other component changer/burners
people can recommend, that would be great too. Any help or advice

would
be enormously appreciated.

Thanks
Dewey

What equipment ?
What cassette reader ?
What PC ... Mother Board ... Processor .... Memory ... Operating

System ?
What Sound Card ?
What software ?

On descent quality equipment, there are not many problems

Hi Allen and others,

I made my decision and as my 5 CD changer was fritzed and I needed a
new one, I bought the Sony RCD-W500C dual deck, 5 CD changer and CD
recorder. It works great and I have transfered several tapes to CD. Now
I need to edit the tracks to make individual MP3s for each song and
whatever other editing I want to do. I know many people recommend Cool
Edit but I was wondering if there are any other comparable programs. I
have Nero Wave Editor and it seems very clunky. I also have something
called CD Wave Editor 1.62 and Exact Audio Copy. Really all I want to
do is break the tracks apart in such a way that they will still play
without gaps or pauses - as they would if they were separate tracks on
a commercial CD. Is this possible? Any recommendations would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!
