This is a more advanced example of making a CD
that I have yet to master but in essence you need a programme like
Music Match
that you set to record from "line in" then then as I understand it (and Valerie Magee will no doubt correct me if I am wrong)
whatever is being played through your computer's loudspeakers will be recorded onto your hard disk as either a full wav file or if you so select a compressed mp3.Either can then be burnt to a CD. What I am not sure of is whether it is possible to burn in real time direct to a CD,and if so how do you do it.
I now have a new computer with a DVD burner
and also a USB plug-in TV tuner device plus software that claims to burn in real time to a DVD, in other words I can turn my humble PC into a full fledged Digital Video Recorder
And another USB device I have should allow me to digitise to DVD my stack of video tapes (both standard VHS and the small 1-hour miniDV tapes from my digital camcorder woo hoo!!!
Anyway for starters go to the MusicMatch site where you can download their great free programme.
Great because it not only can rip mp3s from your CDs but if you are on line and play a CD Music Match automatically looks up a fantastic on line database of albums, and if it finds the album you are playing in its "playlist" panel it will display all the titles of every track and their running time
All Gord's albums are there including the 4 disks of songbook snd some unauthorised CDs
like the 1976 Montreux bootleg. wonderful
