    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

    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

    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.
