Hi All,

I have recently come into the need to be able to take a cassette tape
recording and transfer it to CD and/or DVD. I'm not a new comer to
computers but I've never had an interest in doing this kind of thing so
I don't know much about it so I need some help.

What specifications should I look for in a computer to be able to record
approximately 45 minutes of a cassette track on to a CD or DVD? The
need right now is to do it to CD but I'm sure the need to do it to DVD
will soon arise.

Do computers today come with the interface needed to do such things? Is
it a time consuming process because there are lot of these 45 minute
tapes to do? This is not music. It is just voice recordings.

How many 45 minute tapes can I get on one CD? On a DVD?

I'm so new at this I really don't know what to ask. Thanks for any help.

Loy
