How to convert cassettes to cd using only Movie Maker and Media Player

Place your cassette player close to your computer.

Plug one end of your 3.5mm axillary cable into the headset of the cassette player, and the other end in the mic or line-in on your computer.

Start Microsoft Movie Maker.

Go to narrate timeline, which is you can find right above the storyboard or timeline.

Check to make sure that the input in Movie Maker is the same as what you have the cable plugged into, otherwise it will not record anything.

Start narrating the timeline, that is to say... record. Start "recording" before you hit play on the cassette player. Continue "recording" until you have recorded everything you wanted to.

Stop "recording". It will ask you what you want to name what you have just recorded. Name it, and remember the directory, or what folder and subfolders it saves under. (It would be easier if you just saved it on your desktop, so you now right where its at.)

Find the file.

Double-click it, to open Media Player. Here you can listen to what you just recorded. If you wish to just keep it on your computer, then this is the end. But if you still want it on a CD, then there are a few more steps before we are finished.

With your file playing, click on the tab that says "burn". There is a section on the right where you can place files to burn and there should be some words that say "Burn now playing". If your recorded file is in the now playing, then this is what you want.

Put a blank CD in the drive that burns CDs.

And now burn the files!!! Thats it, you are done... you are now in the 21st century!
