Folks,

Here's a question for the technically more savvy among you:

Is there a (simple and inexpensive) way of converting cassette tape
recordings to web-downloadable computer sound files?  Needless to say I
would hope that this would not result in vastly diminished sound quality.

I have a bunch of Lowlands Saxon (and also Yiddish) sound recordings, some
of which I would love to share, and some of which are of people that have
passed on since.  Also, I find it easier to record my own voice on tape
(with one of those better portable recorders) than directly to a harddrive.
(Also, for some strange reason I always get feedback and echoes when I
record to the computer, no matter how much fiddling and tweaking I do.)

Thanks for thinking about it and for letting me know.  This may be
information others on the List would appreciate too.  It would be
particularly handy to have if some of us want to present sound files for our
10th anniversary, as has been requested.

Thanks and regards,
Reinhard/Ron
