How About Audio Recording Help?

[JLB Please excuse me, I'm a Dick. Not a moron just a Dick Find all posts View Profile Close JLB]

I am preparing a presentation that includes conversations recorded on micro-cassette tapes with a handheld recorder.

I would like to copy those recordings to something that can be played on a better system, with better speakers, for a group to be able to hear. Say a regular-sized cassette tape or a CD.

Any ideas?

Here's a thought. Are there adapters so that microcassettes can be played in regular size cassette players, like the adpaters for camcorder mini-tapes that play in VHS players?

Despite all the crap going on today, I found an answer to this and will share it in case someone else can use the information.

Radio Shack has some pretty decent pairs of powered speakers for $20. Pretty decent for $20, that is. You connect them to the earphone jack on the tape player. They have speakers powered by 110 and smaller speakers powered by batteries.

I got the 110, because they have right and left channels and treble and bass adjustments. The speakers have a volume dial as does the tape player. You can play with both of them to get the best, least-distorted sound.

They really do a good job.

As far as making back-up copies of the micro-cassette tapes, you can do a similar process by running a (dubbing) cable from the earphone jack of the micro cassette player to the mic jack of any tape recorder, micro or otherwise.

I suspect you could do a CD also, but that's more than I want to do for now, now that I have these external speakers for the tape player.

I'll work on that on my next day off.

The problem with dubbing is that there is often some signal loss, more so in low grade systems. As far as adapters, I haven't seen one that worked well yet- so don't go that way without a rave review.
