Hi all,
I need some advice, I need to convert some talks at my local group from
tape to CD. I have a mike input on my audio card so connecting the audio
should not be a problem.
What file formats do standard CD players play ?
Standard CD audio is 44100 samples/s, 16-bit samples, LSB byte order.
So what you really want to do is capture the tapes to .wav files with
those parameters, then just pass the wav files to cdrecord for writing
to the CD.
I would guess mp3 but
there do not appear to be any mp3 encoders for linux, ogg would be great
but I doubt that it would play.
A few CD players will now play mp3 files written in a standard ISO
filesystem. But it is a recent feature, and not terribly standard.
lame is probably the most popular mp3 encoder for Linux.
Can anyone suggest an application to get the files from the tape &
change them into said format ?
arecord -f cd tape.wav
arecord is part of media-sound/alsa-utils.
