Back to Digitizing Cassettes

For musical purposes, this is shite as the Brits would say. But for spoken word...

Bill loaned me some great kids' stories on cassette for the trip to DC. The Secret Garden, Watership Down, The Chronicles of Narnia. But they're all on cassette, and the van doesn't have one. Too bad the van doesn't have iPod capability--I wouldn't have to burn discs. But I can re-gift the discs to Mike & Christine, who will play them in the car for their kids.

Next to the KWR/UAW project, this digitization is a breeze. No complicated track splitting; no listening for program clues for the ID3 tags. Just plain old copy and paste. One track per side; one tape per disc.

We'll be in the car for 20 hours total, so we'll need all the programming we can get. Oh, and I found these on cassette in the garage:

• The Brothers Karamazov (2 tapes)
• War and Peace (4 tapes)
• Tom Jones (3 tapes)
• The Adventures of Don Quixote (2 tapes)
• Jude The Obscure (3 tapes)
• Emma (2 tapes)
• The Portrait of Dorian Gray (2 tapes)
• Anna Karenina (3 tapes)

Those can wait for later; more where those came from in Metamora.
