Music hasn’t changed, but the technology has. So if you still love those old melodies, here’s a home method way to ensure your new portable stereos continue playing the. There was a time when music meant audio cassettes and vinyl LPs. Today you whip out an iPod, a Sony walkman phone, the Nokia N series, a Creative Zen MP3 player or the Microsoft Zune. Your collection of olden melodies may be gathering dust somewhere in the house, but don’t throw them away yet. Convert the music from cassettes to the digital MP3 format at your home. You don’t need a tech expert nor do you need to go out and buy expensive devices. All you need is your normal cassette/LP player, your home computer and stereo in/out cable, which is easily available in the market. Ok, Its time to tune in.

1. Connect one end of the normal stereo in/out cable to your computer’s line-in terminal with a 1/8’ mini jack and other end to player’s stereo out (headphone socket). You can also use a cable that converts the two Audio out RCA jacks from the stereo.
2. Change the recording control of your computer to Rear input/Line in. You can change this by going to “Sounds and Audio Devices Properties” in the control panel.
3. Now play the music on your Cassette/LP player and start recording via the sound recorder, or other free sound recorders/encoders like Audacity, Jet Audio Basic, Media Jukebox, etc.
