I've read most of the threads on the Board that are related after doing a search, but seeing that I have never burned an audio CD of any kind ever (only data CD's), I thought I should ask about this here.
What I want to do is transfer some old audio cassettes which are lectures, no music, to CD's which can be played on a PC and/or a non-PC player. In all the posts I've read, most only say to "use Nero"... but for someone like myself, that information doesn't help much. So, here's what I would like to know:
1) Can I do this operation with what I have currently, which is Nero 6.6.0.15 and Audacity 1.2.4 (not yet installed)?
2) What program do I use to begin with, i.e., transfer the analog data from the cassette to the PC (assuming this is the correct first step)?
3) Once the data has been transferred to my PC, what do I do and what specific program do I use to convert the now digital data (will it be in .wav format)? to a format to burn to CD?
4) Another important part of this project is editing the data transferred from the cassette to my PC. More specifically, most of the cassettes will be 60 minutes total length. Thus I will have to turn the cassette over to play the second side. This will of course result in a "break" in the data. So, I will want to "blend" the two sides together to make the transition into one, hopefully unnoticeable.
Thanks for any help here. And remember, this is totally new for me so I am really wanting some "detailed" instructions rather than a generalization, e.g., "just use Nero". hehe
