    Perfect walk-through! Solved all my problems, and now I am happily transferring 40-year old live recordings to my PC! Great job! Thank you so much! 😃

    Yep. How I did it in 1998 or so. I needed a double-sided jack. Cassette player, jack out, line-in jack (sound card), then WAV - recording. Then convert it to 56k mp3. 😀 Back then with 4 MB of RAM and only 100 MHz, converting to mp3 took a while...

      Awww...the good old days of converting to mp3's. I did something similar back in 2003 😅

    I've tried this 50+ times, but for some reason my windows PCs will not show a line-in option, only a microphone option. I converted hundreds of songs from cassette/analog to PC when I was using 7 and before. But no matter what I do I cannot get the PC on Windows 10/11 to recognize a line-in option. I've tried 4 different PCs/laptops. Does anyone know what the heck I'm missing? Why is the microphone driver loading up fine, but no line-in option?

    But what if my laptop does not have a line in port of 3.5 mm?

    At 4.08 you mention the file quality and produce the window 'edit metadata tags' but you didn't show how to access that window...how?

    I have a pioneer tape deck i used an rca 3.5 mm aux cord into my laptops input is there a way to control the input sound from the deck itself or would i have to control it from the laptops input audio?

    I don't know if you can help, but I have an old Denon dual cassette player/recorder. I am able to connect it no problem to a Dell PC (Win 10) I am trying to retire, but i just cannot get to work in a new Dell PC (Win 11).
    I've tried using a double RCA jack from that converts to a single RCA jack to plug in the Input (which is how it works in the Win 10 machine) AND I have tried using an HDMI2AV with a double RCA jack from tape player to this adapter. It has HDMI input which I connected to the PC and it has a USB jack which is also connected to the PC (I believe this is for power).
    I've followed the instructions in Audacity - just can't hear the music on the tape player.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi, I've connected the cassette deck to my laptop and Audacity has detected the signal which I can hear through the laptop speakers, so no trouble there. However, when i click record, it only records for less than a second and then stops. Any idea why this is happening?

    And I thought, there's some kind of program that at least detects breaks between tracks :(
    Dad has so many casettes, it will be tedious

    What would be the best khz and bit rate to record at if you want to save it as a mp3?

    Im hoping someone here may be able to help. Im trying to transfer my old music casette tapes to mp3 via Audacity and a Behringer. I have all of the lines correct from the casette player to the Behringer and i have the Behringer USB end plugged into my computer. When I select record in audacity and then play a casette, Audacity is only picking up the vocals on the casette, not any of the instrumental. Any ideas? Thanks.

      I would check to see if Audacity is set to mono vs. stereo? Otherwise might be a faulty adapter cable.

    I have a 3.2.1 audacity but it does not show the ( inline high definition audio) on the list of input sources. It shows microsoft mapper, and several microphones. However it doesnt show ( inline high definition audio) How can I get that on my audacity?

      Hi Emoses. Do you see your line in source in the sound control panel within Windows?

      Hi Westbound Contrail. Thank you for the comment. I apologize for that issue. You will need to open up the sound settings system within Windows.

    I downloaded Audacity and of course it is not the same as shown in this video. Another useless software or should I look around for different instructions?
