Hi,

I want to start recording some of my fave (and very precious) tapes to CD and/or PC H/D.

I have picked up a half decent Sony Walkman, a cable to connect from the walkman headphone socket to my Soundcard, but I was wondering if any of you *oh knowledgeable* ones could offer any advice or tips on recording, i.e what programs do I need, suggestions on Sample Rates, volume/recording levels, compression etc.

Do I have to record in .wav format?, or can I record direct to MP3 format etc?...

Any hints or tips are welcome...

When I've got a few I hope to put them on CD in MP3 format (should be able to get a few tapes on each CD then!).

many thanks in advance,


Phil
