Again for streaming:

You can go into the volume controls  
File-\>properties  
Select recording  
Check “Wave”, or “What U Hear”  
Click ok  
Check the box under way  
Use your favorite recording program. :tup:

Lets you save any played sound. Under Windows that is.

just a chord from the headphone jack on the recorder to the “line in” jack on your audio card or motherboard. Radio Shack has chords… buy the shortest one.

Start -\> Programs -\> Accessories -\> Entertainment -\> SoundRecorder

File -\> Properties… make sure its set for 44khz or CD Quality

Hit the Record button… press play on your tape player…

Record a 15 second sample and listen to it…make sure the audio levels are good…

if not adjust volume on the player…

Sound recorder can only record 60 seconds of audio at a time however. Beyond that I would recommend goldwave (Free, with limits). Would allow you to record it and save right to the format of your choice.
