USB streaming hi-fi's |
|
|
I've seen some micro hi-fi's advertised with " 2 way USB PC connection", as
well as playing your mp3's stored on your PC through this stereo....would it
also allow you to record from, say the cassette on the hi-fi, to software on
your PC?
This would be a very handy way for me to transfer old recordings from tape
onto mp3's > onto cd.
Anyone got one of these gizmo's?

You can already do this, without paying an arm and a leg for new equipment.
I have recorded numerous cds from old vinyl records, cassetes etc.

Can't honestly say I have anything on cassette that I'd bother to digitize,
and although I have LPs and 45s, currently I have no turntable, so I have no
need for the device.

I have quite a few cassettes that i want to convert. I thought this would
be quite an easy way to do it. I need a new hi-fi for my spare room anyway
so..... |

I must be missing something. How is this different from plugging the
tapedeck output into the soundcard in your computer? What value does
this gizmo add?
Or is the real value in the bundled software? Surely you can buy Nero
software without the hardware box.

Just connect the rec out of tape2 in your amplifier with a RCA/stereo
headphone jack to the line in input of your sound card.Then, with a
recording programm like the AV Rack which I am using (refrain from freeware
as they are usually full of spyware) record the tape.record on your hard
drive.Then, with a burning programm like nero burn them on cd.

I am using Wave Repair and I am not aware of any spyware included in it.

Ah, sorry the item I was originally referring to were micro style 'hi-fi's
like you might use in a kitchen or small bedroom. They have the usual CD
player/radio/cassette/speakers but some have usb ports which allow
'streaming' to or from the PC. I beleive they are intended for connecting
to your pc and playing mp3 collecteins for example from a 'hi-fi' rather
than through your pc speakers.

Why people wouldnt just burn cd's and play them I dont quite follow, but
what I want to know is can it go the other way around? i.e. can you play a
cassette on these 'hi-fi' and record through your pc with something like
Nero wave editor or audacity?
Many thanks. |

Because it takes time, and a CDDA CD just isn't very long !
