Last week Cheryl at work mentioned that she had some tapes she used often but her tape player had broken and she was having trouble getting a replacement tape player to use in the classroom. I said that we have a stereo at home that converts tape to CD. She asked if I would mind transferring the now out of production tapes to CD so that she could use them. I was more than happy to do this. So I have spent a few hours today on the project. to be able to separate each part of the tape into separate tracks so that they are easier to navigate I have found that you need to listen to the tapes as they play. So for each letter of the alphabet, there is a short story (7-8 mins) a song (about 1 min) and an instrumental version of the song (also about 1 min). So far I have turned the letters A-L into MP3s (about 1h45m) and renamed the files from the generic names (ie recording 1, 2, etc) to what they actually are (A story, A song, A song instrumental, B story, B song, B song instrumental, etc) and am now onto the 2nd half of the alphabet. After I have turned them into MP3s then I have to burn them to CD! This project is turning out to be quite a bit bigger than I had anticipated and may not get finished this weekend! Oh well, at least it will be done in the not too distant future!
