I bring this up because for some reason I went hunting for pre-recorded cassettes in my home and I wish to convert them. I will use Audacity to rip them to WAV and then Roxio to to break up the tracks and rip them to mp3. I've always ripped cassettes to WAV first so that way the tracks are not compressed right out of the gate so to speak.
With the music that is being produced many people are reverting back to finding music that meant the world to the with a fraction of the cost. The way technology is today people can revert their vinyl albums and cassettes at a fraction of the cost and I'm so pleased because we as consumers are no longer at the mercy of record labels. I've been converting cassettes for a while now. I haven't converted them in a while because of laziness, not enough time, too busy on Facebook and Twitter. Another culprit is the fact it's hard to find cassettes at the places I once shopped to find them...at the Good Will.
This means I have to look harder when it comes to cassettes now. What's so cool now with the advancement of technology I can rip cassettes from my lil' ol' boombox to my laptop and then convert it mp3 with really cool quality. I look forward to getting back to converting because for me it's not only cool to capture that "Warmth" sound from cassettes but this way it makes me slow down and really soak in the music.
