How to convert musics on tape to mp3 files

I know, this is now a quite old trick to perform, since most of us already have converted our old good songs on the tapes to CD or mp3. However, many of my friends still wonder how to do this very easily. I have written this article to just help them. The following items will be needed.

1. PC that has a line in port (Most of the sound cards that are made for a desktop PC, has this port. However, I saw many laptops are not equipped with line in port. If you have no choice but use one of the laptops without the port, you can try on mic in port(You have to fine tune and monitor precisely before initiating the recording process, this job is going to be very tedious to get optimised audio signal)

2. Free Software for Recording and encoding. (1.92 MB in size, if the link dose not work, search google for "CDex").

3. Free Software for slicing audio depending on silence. (Not Necessary, unless you want to convert the whole tape at once and later on split the tracks by detecting silence in between). The size of this software is 216 KB only, if the link dose not work, search google for "Slice Audio Splitter".

4. A Tape player that has a audio output (headphone jack, even an Walkman will be OK).

5. A cable that can connect one side to line in put of the PC and other side on headphone jack of Tape player. (Many 99 cents store have this type of cable in their stock)


You can use any software of your choice, I have given two names above which are free and will fulfill our desire easily.

In high level description, here is what we need to do. First we have to put our favorite Tape in the player, connect the player with PC using the jack I described above. Now we need to record the whole tape using the first software(CD-ex) using record from line in feature. If you only want the track you like most, you can monitor the recording and stop it whenever you think you are done. However, if you want to record the entire tape, you can let it run and check back after an hour or so and stop it after the whole tape is recorded. Then you can split the tracks using the free software (2nd one, slice audio splitter) , which will detect the silence between tracks and splits it. If any one needs detail instruction please leave a comments and I will do it whenever I will have time.

Thanks for reading.

how to capture screen cast in an easiest way

Are you wondering how you can create a screen cast to demonstrate an application you have been using and want to share with your friends? well it's not that heard at all, if you have CamStudio 2.5 beta . It is an absolutely free software with all the functionality you need. You may download it from this link or by visiting http://download.cnet.com/CamStudio/3000-13633_4-10067101.html?tag=mncol.

The Pros: You can pause and record , in capture fox (add ons of firefox) you can't do that. The Installation is easy, just download the 1.2 megabyte file and unzip it, you can also keep it in your jump drive (usb pen drives,sd cards etc). You can even transfer it to flash video format. You can enable auto pan feature which will track your mouse pointer and automatically capture that portion.

Cons: In order to improve the performance you need to have a good settings for both video and audio option. Please choose the settings options care fully.

Here is a sample video that I created with Cam studio (this one without voice, but you can create with voice as well) You may reduce file size by reducing region size and changing the video outpu format to flash(swf).
