Creating Cassett from MP3 CD installed on computer

by backstage Dec 20, 2004 1:04AM PST

What equipment would I need to create a cassett from a MP3 CD which I play on a computer.
I have a computer and just regular radio single and double casssett players.

Thanks Richard

recording to cassette

You will need to convert MP3 file format to WAV format, and there are several excellent free programs out there to do that with, and then take the output of the soundcard to the cassette deck input feeds. Will need some RCA pinplug connectors to accomplish this plus a mini stereo to pin plug adaptor. Should be able to monitor recording thru your stereo. Since soundcards don't amplify the signal (that's why there are powered computer speakers) the levels should be ok but of course you adjust that via record levels and Peak level monitors on your cassette deck. Good luck.
