    Mornin' All
    Got a question for the puter' whizzes out there.
    Is it possible to connect a harddrive to, say a tapedeck on a stereo to record tapes. Can't afford a cd burner rite now & was just wondering.
    Thanks...& if this is a doofus kind of question...well my Agee says thats the kind of fellow I am! [​IMG]

    I ain't no whiz, and I don't know the answer, but I wanted to jump in because it sounds like it would be fun to try. :D
    I don't see why it wouldn't work by just hooking up your stereo to the soundcard on the computer. You'd probably have to go to your settings and adjust those too, go start>settings>control panel>multimedia
    Ya know, figuring out this kind of stuff can be free entertainment...I suggest you spend a few hours trying different things just for fun and don't even wait for real answers. :D
    (oh wait, that's MY idea of fun) LOL

    Why can't you just go to Radio Shack and get a couple of splitters and run a wire from the "audio out" (or "speaker out") to the "audio in" (or "aux in") on your stereo?

    Actually, it's the "line in" jack on your computer. If you don't have a "line in" jack, you can't do it.

    You'll also need to check your recording software to ensure you have a "record from line in" option (as in, click on record, then when it asks for source, select "line in").

    Might also need some special equipment, like a cable.

    Preacher, you can surely do it, but you need an MP3 to Wave Converter program. You can download this program free of charge from some places, while you may pay $20 or less at others. Here is one of the links to a site: http://www.cnet.com but you may get it from any other places found through your search engine. Some of the places I found via the Google was from $19.50 to $150 and up. Just type into your search engine: MP3 to Wave Converter. [​IMG]
