They are mostly music tapes, although I have quite a few that contain learning materials from some of the courses I attended over the years. The process is relatively easy and if you still have a cassette player it can be done for free. You can access it on their website here. There is a lot that Audacity can do. For in-depth information, there are training manuals on their website here. I recommend that before you record anything you play the loudest track on the tape and check the sound levels on the Audacity screen.
You need the peaks to be within the two bands, ie between 1. You can adjust the levels using the slider controls. It is possible to record the whole of a side of a cassette and then split it into tracks afterwards. However, I find this very fiddly and time consuming and therefore think it is easier to record one track at a time. Once recorded, you can play back and delete any unwanted footage at the beginning and end of the track by highlighting and cutting using the scissor icon — top right on the picture.
Then create a sub-folder with the name of the album. Find the sub folder and name the track. I usually save as MP3.
Next, Audacity will ask you to add Meta data. It therefore has to be added manually. Just use your mouse to move them into one folder. As long as you are connected to the internet, the media player should have automatically found the album cover. If not, you should be able to find the image on Google and then just copy and paste into your media player. In the media player you can burn the recording on to a CD.
