Abstract

This article provides instructions on how to digitize old audio cassettes using a tape recorder, a cable to connect it to a computer, and the Audacity software. It emphasizes the importance of preserving irreplaceable cassette tapes that may contain rare albums or personal recordings. The article also mentions the option of using a dedicated MP3 recorder but advises caution due to reported issues with their functionality. The instructions cover setting up Audacity, selecting the correct audio input, adjusting sample rate and format, recording the cassette, and editing the recording to create individual tracks.
