does your tape player have a headphone jack? run a cable from that to the input on your soundcard. then record in cool edit

the whole tape is 50 mb? you need to split the songs up and save them individually

If you have a seperate tape player that has it's own jacks in back , run it from there to your soundcard or audio interface . Usually it's RCA jacks in the back of a deck and 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch jacks on an audio card. Buy the converter piece that goes from RCA to whatever you have . You won't lose out on the Quality. Or you can make a copy of all the songs you need transfered and hit me up. I got a pro tools lab in SAC and have done many tape transfers. I could even put them to High Quality Mp3 using Wavelab 4.0. Let me know. Peace

I got it figured out, and I saved it as wav instead of mp3 thats why it was 50mb for only 1 song. thanks fo the help
