Thread: Ripping Tapes Using A Walkman Question.

I have been considering for sometime about buying one of the ION tape rippers but have heard loads of bad reviews which has put me off.

I wanted to know if i buy a good walkman what lead would i need to get to plug from the walkman to my pc so i can start ripping tapes?

Thanks in advance

Jack to phono, if you wanna run through your mixer to adjust bass, treble, volume etc...

Thanks for the quick reply but i was looking for a lead which i can just plug into the walkman from one end and then the other plug plugs straight to my PC in the green socket (if that makes any sense )

You need a 3.5mm Jack to 3.5mm jack msprim. One end into your headphone socket and the other end into the connection on your computer (green socket)

found one on Amazon for you: 3.5mm Stereo Jack Plug to 3.5mm Stereo Jack Plug 1.2M: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

make sure the batteries are new, you dont want it slowing down on you!

I didn't even know it was possible!!!! Seems a bit archaic to me....forgive my total lack of knowledge; but...how do you record?!?!?

loads of free programmes on the web....

Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder

GoldWave - Audio Editor, Recorder, Converter, Restoration, & Analysis Software

these are simple to use, i use goldwave myself but have a copy of audacity from when i bought my decks.
