Hi

I want to convert a cassette recording of a live gig by my old band to mp3. Is there anyone in that London who could help? A few beers would find themselves going your way :)

cheers

+1 For Audacity. I have converted loads of Vinyl to MP3 using it.

I could do it but you would have to send me the cassette. Can you copy that and send it to me? I could then convert and return via email or on CD.

Your call.

Tape to tape I guess.......

FWIW I have a hitachi stereo unit (can't remember the model no, but can check it tonight if anyone's interested) which has a cassette and a USB port, and you can copy direct in MP3 format from one to the other (and likewise from other inputs). Did my old band tapes (from the 70s!) and some vinyls on it! Only cost about £70, and it's not a bad general music system either.

I'm sure they do similar models now (bought this about 5 years ago). Thought it was a very handy feature!
