How to transfer a tape to a CD using Audacity

This article is originally published at nsftools.com

Step 1: Connect your tape player to your sound cardIf you have a tape player with a "line-out" jack, you should really use that, but you can use the headphone jack in a pinch. Whatever you're using, connect it to the "line-in" plug on the back of your sound card.

Almost every sound card in the world uses 1/8th-inch plugs, although your line-out/headphone jack may or may not be the same size. If it's a different size, converters are pretty easy to find. Also, make sure you're using a cable with stereo plugs -- if there's one little ring around the metal part of the plug it's mono, if there are two little rings it's stereo.
