I want to know if there is a machine not a PC where you can put a CD on one side and a cassette tape on the other and transfer the music from the audio cassette to the CD?
An audio cassette has the music on it recorded in an analogue
format, while a CD records information in a digital format. Thus in
order to transfer the music from the cassette to the CD it is
necessary to play the music on the cassette into a machine that
will sample the sound and convert it into a numeric (digital) form,
this is called analogue to digital conversion.
It would be possible to build a machine to do this, but most of
the 'off the shelf' technology to do this is now sold as computer
components (boards to fit into a PC).
Thus, depending on how many cassettes you want to transcribe you
have two options
# Use a company to do this for you (if you have only a few
cassettes) # Go to a shop and purchase a PC - tell the store what
you want to do and they will configure the PC for you (if you have
a lot of cassettes) Look at the links I will place below
