LIKE, connect the headphones output on the player to the "line in" plug on the back of your computer. download Nero program.  burn to CD.\nIt costs about 5.00 for a good cable from Radioshack.

Yes, it's possible.  However, seeing as you " live and breathe music"... you might need more space than what a USB memory stick can provide.\n\nThere are some 4GB ones that are affordable, but it's still a bit expensive for anything larger.  Another route you can go is to get an external USB hard drive.  300GB hard drives is where the price break is at the moment.  Anything larger, you're looking at another $75 - $100 per 100GB on top.

You can do it, but it's not worth it. Time consuming and quality reducing.\nQuit being cheap and buy some more DVD-R's.

Hello, just call me Mike :) In life i'm a computer tech. Well, first you'll need a burn software/program, like Nero, you can easy download it from: http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/nero7-demo.php install it, and you're ready to burn your favorite music, the program its demo, for about 30 days i think, you can even transform your MP3 music files in an original music CD format, so you can listen to the music on your cd-player & so on.. contact me if you want, i'll help ya step by step !\nGood Luck ! :)

If you are using wav files with FTP technology, you'll need a bigger hard drive than if you're doing tapes from local physicians.  Other than that, if the computer is less than four years old, you're probably okay.  One thing I would recommend is to max out the memory.  If you choose a laptop, make sure it's got a full-size keyboard.  There's more information in a free ebook that MT Advantage gives away.  www.mtacc.net

There are myriad programs to do this, but if you really want to learn HOW TO DO IT you need to start researching the web's technical sites!\n\nI am talking about sites like Cnet.com which discuss the software and how to use it and also give links to find out more. You need to do research to find out which program will work best for YOU.\n\nThere are several music stores on the internet which also give additional details about the software. One place is WoodWindsBrassWinds or wwbw.com.

if you have a specific program for recording I'd use it (Cubase, Creative Labs).  If not, in your Accessories--> Entertainment, there should be a sound and audio recorder.  Record the medium.  It will already be in .wav format.  Don't compress it into .mp3.  Use whatever software you have to create an Audio CD with the sound you recorded.  Not a data CD.  When you have created an audio CD, when you check the properties of the CD and you will see the extension .CDA (CD Audio).  Check the CD in your stereo just to make sure.  Don't assume it's been burned correctly.  I've worked with audio engineers who do this professionally for recording studios and don't check their finished product and it wastes so much of my time.

Absolutely.  \n\nThough I'm *not* old {smiling}, yes, I remember all kinds of tape recording formats, and even went to a school for multitrack recording, with the aim of getting a job in a studio.\n\nThere are numerous programs for your PC that will turn it into a multitrack recorder with all the familiar features a console has -- channel and master faders, VU meters, pan knobs, mute and solo switches, etc.  But they go beyond the wildest dreams of a recording engineer in the 80s, when tape (often 2" wide) was the only respectable medium, and a reasonable studio would cost many tens--if not a few hundreds--of thousands of dollars to assemble.\n\nComputer software on a good PC does the job of both the mixing console and the multitrack recorder, and even lets you do a mix-down to stereo, and even editing of your projects... and mastering to CD!\n\nI don't have enough experience with any of the programs I've seen   to recommend one, but suspect you'd find a lot of useful info at emusician.com, the online version of Electronic Musician magazine.  \n\nThey probably review software as well as hardware, and I'm sure there are plenty of other sites that do, too.\n\nYou might want to just get your feet wet with a great *free* program, called Audacity.  I *have* used that one, just playing around, and it seems to have just about everything I've seen in pay programs, and which a beginning (or even semi-pro) band would need.  I can't say for sure, but I'd be surprised if this software *isn't* good enough for a demo, as long as you know how to use it.  \n\nThe recording and mixing process takes practice, some knowledge of sound and microphone placement, a good ear, and a bit of creativity... as with any other type of recording equipment.  Since Audacity is freeware, you have no money to lose, there.\n\nAs for "easy to use," that depends a lot on your experience with the hardware these programs are designed to emulate.  I find the software pretty intuitive, but I have studied and used this kind of hardware on and off for years.  I can imagine it being an awful lot to a newbie.  But then, so would the hardware versions of these tools.\n\nOne other tip: don't skimp on your microphones.  A mic of poor quality will ruin a recording quicker than just about anything else, no matter how good the software is.  And it's not one-type-fits-all-duties.  Way too much to cover here, I'm afraid.\n\nOh, alright, one more thing... you do have to have a certain level of hardware in your computer.  Check the system requirements of the software you get, but I'm guessing you'll want at least 1 GB of RAM, a fast hard drive (7200 rpm or better), and a fast processor (I won't guess, on that).  And obviously you need some way to get the microphone signals into your PC.  If your sound card doesn't provide the necessary inputs, you may need to buy a "breakout box" which you connect to the computer via USB port, probably, and which then gives you various mic and line inputs.\n\nThis may sound like a lot to learn, and I won't lie... it is!  But it is possible, and I think can give you a surprisingly good quality recording via your PC.\n\nGood luck, and maybe you'll send me your demo CD!   ;-)

I have actually done exactly what you want.  Here's the short answer:\n1.  Buy a video capture card.\n2.  After installing it, use the software that comes with it to record video.\n3.  Play the video you want to record (like a VHS tape).\n4.  After the tape is finished, you'll have to stop the software.\n5.  Repeat for each video tape.\n\nLonger answer:\nI bought a PCI video capture card.  As long as it can do 640 by 480 or 720 by 480 you're good.  Cheap ones are less than fifty bucks.  More expensive ones just come with better software.  You can get the software seperately.  A cheap one will just record to MPEG-1 or something weak like that.  The better ones give you more options of file type.  when I did it I didn't have a DVD burner, just a CD burner so I chose options that ended up with ugly quality.  I plan to go back and do it again sometime now that I have a DVD burner so I can use the highest quality settings.  By the way, as long as you're doing this for your own use only, I think it's perfectly legal.

There's a number of ways to do this. \n\nYour PC might have a sound card that has audio inputs. If so then connecting your turntable to an amplifier...then the amplifier to those audio inputs using RCA cables (available at Radio Shack) is the first step. You'll also need a software application that can record the incoming audio and convert to the MP3 format...your PC may have this already installed or you can use something like Audacity to make the recording then convert it.\n\nAnother way which I like is using a MP3 player/recorder. IRiver has a couple of models that will record a line input from an external source. So, again, connect the turntable/amplifier to the MP3 recorder...cue up your album and hit record on the MP3 recorder and away you go...the result is MP3 files you can listen to on the unit itself or transfer to your PC using the included IRiver software. \n\nThere's probably other manufacturers who make MP3 recorders but I've found the Irviver models to work well.\n\nhope that helps...

"All I want to do is burn all my huge video files" \na)Any friend have a a External USB Hard drive? to backup all the stuff.\nb) Purchase a External USB enclousure and insert your hard drive to enable it USB. then do a backup.\nc) Puchase a External USB enclousure and put the DVD burner in it, to do backups with your friends. There a lot of cheaper items on the web.

I don't know the answer to your exact question, but I can tell you that there is software to do this on your computer.  DVD Encrypter is one, and I think you can find it for free.  DVD burners for your PC are like $40, so you can probably afford a second one.  If you'd like me to get you more info on how to burn from PC, email me.
