Many older listeners still have storage-boxes full of the magnetic tapes. If you have a collection of cassette tapes you would like to digitize and protect, you can import the audio into your PC. Both Windows Vista and Windows 7 include all of the software you need to record songs from your cassette tapes and store them as digital audio files on your computer.
1). Connect the audio cable to the "line out" port on the cassette deck or recorder. Connect the 3.5-mm end of the cable to the "Audio In" or "Line In" port on the computer. In many cases, the "Line In" port has a small blue ring around it that differentiates it from other audio ports on the computer.
2). Power on the cassette deck and insert the tape you want to record. Fast-forward or rewind the tape to the song you want to transfer the PC. Leave a second or two of silence before the music begins. Press the "Play" button and then immediately push the "Pause" button to stop play back.
