My friend uses DART CD-Recorder and has recommended it to me, but I have a Macintosh. Do you know of a similar product for the Mac?

I have lots of old tapes I want to preserve on CD.

Thanks in advance,

Leo Manuel

I have a LaCie CD-r which works fine and I am sure that there are many others out there that are just as good.

Recording tape to CD is quite easy on a Mac.  Which burner you get depends on the Mac model you are using.  Firewire is faster than USB which (I think) is faster than SCSI.  Which you choose is a function of the capacity of your Mac.

You connect your tape player to your Mac (probably two rca plugs at the tape player and a mini-jack to the Mac sound in port).  Software records the playing tape, creating AIFF files on your hard drive (be sure yours is large enough).  Then different software such as TOAST then converts the sound files to the CD-R.  All quite simple!

Which software converts the music to an AIFF file?

'Audacity' is a great freeware app for recording. You can get it at download.com
