For many years now my wife has recorded onto cassette tape, from her hifi
unit using its programming facilities, the daily radio BBC R4 plays, talks,
and
the Archers, and then listens to them on her walkman while doing housework,
gardening, and so on.
She's gone through many walkmans - the cassette deck mechanisms eventually
wear out. As an old telecoms/electronics engineer, I've enjoyed myself
keeping them going until they get beyond economic repair.
So, it occurs to me why not change to an MP3 player? Possibly longer term
viability and better reliability? And use SD/MMC cards to record onto and
playback from.
Problem I'd like help with...
Is there a kit or design, than I can buy and/or put together or build, that
will take the audio line output from the hifi unit and record onto a SD/MMC
card?
Or is there a better way?
Do you have a computer? If yes, what kind?
Do a Google search for "audio editor." Many are available, and some are
free.
I recently set up my son-in-law to convert his record collection to MP3, and
records are only a little more complex than tapes, because the editor for
records needs an RIAA equalizer. For your tapes you just need to play them
back on a compatible player; Metal tape, etc.
After that it's up to you for whether you save the file after each tune, or
after a dozen tunes. If the latter, you can always load the file into the
editor and save each tune separately if you want. There is no degradation
to the MP3 in doing this.
Have fun.
