Can someone advise me please? I plan to copy some very old (38 years)
open reel tapes to CD. I have an aging Sony TC366 Open Reel Recorder
and a Dell Latitude D810 Notebook.

Somehow I thought this would be easy!! :-) However, at present the
notebook does not recognize an analogue signal at the line in.
Moreover, the only piece of software that seems to have an audio
record option is Windows Sound Recorder with a time limit of 60
seconds. I need to record several hours!

So, what hardware do I need? and, what software? Audio quality is
moderately important, given that the source material is not perfect.

Many thanks

Adrian


Don't forget to clean and demagnetise the heads and tape guides of the R-R
recorder. You don't want to damage these tapes, so a bit of maintenance of
the player would be a very good idea.
