I want to convert my cassette tapes to CDs using Audacity.

I'm not sure how I connect it up to the PC ... Would I be able to connect one end of a cable to the headphone socket on the tape player and the other end to the mic socket on the PC tower?

Or is there another way to do it?

How to transfer a tape to a CD using Audacity

Hay guys!!!

A tabbed window display offers you choices for I/O devices, audio quality, file formats, keyboard and mouse bindings, and more. After experimenting with the size of exported projects I selected OGG (Quality 6) as my default export format. Not only is OGG a patent-free alternative to MP3, it yielded slightly smaller size files. Both MP3 and OGG are compressed formats, taking up about a third of the hard disk realestate required to save the same project saved as a WAV.
I also told Audacity where to find libmp3lame.so in the section on MP3 Export. I left everything else the way Audacity had it: a sampling rate of 44,100, spectrograms with an FFT value of 256, and a maximum frequence of 8000 Hz. For those who know about this stuff, there are dozens of tweakable settings. I don't, so I tried to leave well enough alone.
