Here at Ashland I use total recorder-a shareware program to record the tape onto your hard drive. Whatever program you have for your CD burner will burn the file to a CD. Also, if you do a lot of these tapes you might want to have a dedicated PC setup to do these recording transfer.

One of the retired faculty members lent us some old reel-to-reel tapes of lectures by former faculty that we would like to digitize so that we can include sound clips on the websites. We don't have the budget to be able to send the tapes out to be digitized, so I have to figure out how to do this myself. I have the tapes and a working reel-to-reel player, but so far, have not figured out what software/hardware I need to be able to digitize these. Do you have any suggestions on how this can be successfully done?
