Digitizing David's songs

UPDATED HERE (08-22-2006)

I was asked how to capture David's music from cassette to computer for uploading to the web and to this blog. At this time you will have to send or upload the files to my website (see below) and I will list them for you. I will also be happy to accept any material by snail mail.

Here is how to perform this task:

Digitizing David's music can be easy or hard, depending on your computer knowledge and your resources. The simplest method, which is what I used to capture his music from a cassette, is to connect the output of your stereo cassette to the stereo line in of your audiocard (light blue).

I've written a little program that you can use to record the music directly to an MP3 file. You may download the program here. Click on MP3Recorder.zip and download it. Simply unzip it and run the installation program.

This is the program icon on your desktop.

This is the interface.

The completed mp3 file will reside in the program directory: C:\Program Files\MP3Recorder

I would suggest that you start the recording process, stop, and then listen to the MP3 file (use Winamp or WMP) to make sure the volume is ok. Try to avoid a very high volume which might cut off the loud peaks. The mp3's will be labeled GID-0001.Mp3 and up.

You may upload files using this site: http://www.davidcaro.com/Wex/default.asp

Use the little folder on the right of the page to upload.

If there is a problem, let me know. You may also mail the tapes to me and I can do this for you and place them on CD's. Either way is fine for me.
