Convert Your Tapes and Records to MP3

I have hundreds of tapes, mostly of lectures and sermons. I know that they will never be heard again if they are not saved in a digital format. Some of these recordings are priceless. For several years now, I have begun the process of converting them to MP3s.

If you have some tapes or records that you would like to save to a more permanent audio file, download Audacity. It's free software that turns your computer into digital recorder. You can read more about it here.  To save the file as MP3 an encoder is needed, I use Lame. 

Your computer must have an audio input, like a microphone jack or RCA jacks. Some adjustments will be required and maybe some additional research (with Google) to fine tune it to your liking. After your first recording, click "file," "export as mp3." It will prompt you to allow it to search for the encoder. If it doesn't find it, click browse and find LAME yourself. You may have to download it again if you lost it somewhere in your computer.
