I have around 400 audio cassettes, How to convert them in to audio CD. Can it be done at home?

You need

1) a sound card with a line in jack

2) a cassete player with a line out jack

3) a stereo cable to connect the 2

4) a software program to capture that audio stream and save it as .wav, or if you prefer, other program that can convert to mp3 in the program

5) a conversion program if you capture as .wav, to make them .mp3 .ogg .ape, etc.

Soundforge is a good program also try audacity

Well, for one, you'll need to track down a worthwhile tape deck. If they were recorded on Nakamichi, make sure you buy a quality Nakamichi, because the company used a proprietary head and they'll never quite sound right on other decks. If recorded on another deck, Nakamichi, Revox, or anything high-end, with 3 heads and Dolby B + C is a good bet. Really, you don't want to do this poorly. I guess that if you never used anything better than a boombox or K-mart stereo to record, you can settle for a basic component two-head deck, but really, the player quality will have a vast influence on the end result.

Most people would digitize to PC, but if you have to ask, I think that's a bit beyond your skills, and might lead to poor results. I suggest you just hook the quality tape deck up to a stereo component CD burner and directly dub over, putting on one tape per CD. But, that's an issue if you have lots of 90 minutes mix tapes, as CDs run for only 80 minutes! How you deal with that is up to you. Also, make sure to use top-quality media. I suggest you accept no less than Janaonese-made Taiyo Yuden, as it would be awful if you had to do the job again because your CDs started failing.

I saw audio cassette to MP3 converters at Circuit City. You can talk to a Circuit City worker about it.
