Road tunes

[Island Dodge]

A couple of "tune topics"

All my rolling stock is equipped with CD players now that my stock Infinity crapped out in the "new too me" Dodge 12V. Allot of my favorite music that I've had for years is on cassettes. Does anyone know about putting cassettes on CD? How good can a road trip w/o J Cash, Ry Cooter or Bob Dylan? I know the sound quality will be lousy but I'm not particular.

I've been looking at the cassette storage "slots" in the drop down arm rest and wondering if its worth trying to change it somehow to a more usable storage or just use it for short pencels and mints

i have this jensen head unit in my rig that has both cd and casette. i will never ever use the cassette. if you have a good cd player to trade i might be willing to help you out here for the sake of tunes

"i have this jensen head unit"



Thanks for the offer but I think the CD is really the way to go. Its more a matter of "preserving" the old tunes on the more modern system. Theres gota be a machine that copies cassettes onto CDs... . or maybe not :{

you can probably get an analog (how do you spell that??) input card for your computer save them into files and burn them to disc. i dont know exactly how it works but basicly thats how it was explained to me. i have been wanting to do something similar with my old vhsc jeeping videos to dvd.

It is technically easy but fairly labor intensive to go from cassette/LP to CD. Connect your computer to a cassette deck and use a audio recording program to capture the audio in whatever format it supports, then create an audio CD.

I second the fact it is labor intensive, I am a step ahed, converting CDs to dig. file for Ipod (mobile Jukebox basically) in the '02. Good luck, time vs effort vs cost.

For the oldies Rhino records/cd's are your best bet to just buy the stuff on cd they have infinite, wierd, obscure old stuff and everything else. (on the web)

I recently ordered some oldies on cd's from Amazon.com, got some old Jimmie Rodgers & Ernest Tubb albums, much easier than tryin to save your old stuff to cd.
