Record cassettes to digital?


Hi all!

I have a couple cassettes I would like to get onto a CD-R if possible. What do I need to do this? I have a separate phono preamp but I'm not sure I should be using that in the mix.

Thanks in advance!

Another Audacity endorsement here. I've converted a small mountain of LPs and cassettes to AIFF files and imported to iTunes on my Mac with very good results. From there, I can burn to CD (rarely do this anymore as I'm into streaming the iTunes library at home and using an iPod on the road) I've found that, for just converting my records & tapes to digital files, there's a little bit of an initial learning curve with Audacity......nothing insurmountable with the help of a Google search here and there. There seems to be a lot more Audacity is capable of though and there's quite a bit bigger learning curve involved with that stuff but, for my uses with the analog source material, it's been ideal.
