First post, first Mac. (Thank you, thank you...)
My old PC was a fine machine, and capable of great things. Last winter, I learned about this nifty thing called a White Box that would let me hook up an old cassette player on one end of the equation and hook the other to my PC, and with the help of a clever little software ap from Roxio, I began the slow process of rescuing those old mix tapes from the 80s. Managed to save three tapes before I got the pop up window telling me the trial version had expired. The replacement was $80. I checked on Ebay (as one does) but I couldn't be sure that what the product being sold was what I really wanted.
CUT TO: Present, and here I am the proud owner of an iMac. Awesome. I got a free copy of Toast 7 today, and I still have that old cassette player - and, the white box. Any reason why I shouldn't be able to restart converting those tapes to MP3s? I also downloaded Audacity, which is a helpful program indeed - say goodbye to paying for ring tones! I tried Audacity with the player and the box, no luck.
Advice? Comments? Questions?
