When is the last time you listened to your old tape or record album collection? Years? Well, if you'd like a way to digitize your library, you can download an open-source recorder that will do just that. Audacity is a freeware sound recorder and editor you can use to copy your old tapes and albums to your hard drive for conversion to MP3 format that you could play on your Pocket PC. Personally, I've been using Microsoft's Plus Analog recorder to do this to convert old tapes to WMA files, it works well, but Audacity is free. Audacity can record live audio through a microphone or mixer, or digitize recordings from cassette tapes, vinyl records, or minidiscs. With some sound cards, it can also capture streaming audio.
• Record from microphone, line input, or other sources.
• Dub over existing tracks to create multi-track recordings.
• Record up to 16 channels at once (requires multi-channel hardware).
• Level meters can monitor volume levels before, during, and after recording. Have you converted your tape collection over to digital yet? Will you? Tell us your story.
