I have a Christmas album at home called "Abbey - 20 Christmas Songs and Carols for all the family". I was trying to find a CD version of the album but to no avail. Googling it doesn't bring up any results either. Does anyone know the tape I'm on about? Its an old cassette tape and I'd like the CD version to play on my laptop. Does anyone know anything about it or where I could get the CD?

If you're stuck, you could always buy a stereo cable (3.5mm jack either end) and plug from headphone socket on cassette player to mic socket on computer, and record it in through Audacity or similar software.

I was thinking of doing that. Would you be able to record it into Itunes or similar? How much does Audacity cost to buy?

Audacity's free, open source software.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

I'd recommend recording in a track at a time, then saving each track as an mp3 (you'll need to download the lame_enc.dll file --> http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/la...zip?0VIdT0YDkQ before you can do this)

and then just import into iTunes
