How do I import audio from a portable cassette player

onto my iMac? I have an interview I need to transcribe and it will be much easier if I can transfer the audio onto my computer rather than use my old Walkman.

thanks, that solves part of my problem. Does an adapter exist that will allow me to connect my cassette player to my usb port?
I don't know of any. Sorry

  • How do I import audio from a website to Garage Band?

    Brand new to Garage Band (on the Mac, not iPad).  I am trying to import audio from a website with an .mp3 extension to Garage Band.  I'd like to extract just a piece of the audio, so I assume GB was the best way to do it.
    How do I import the audio to GB?  If GB is not the best way to do it, any other suggestions?  I need the piece of audio for a presentation I'm giving.
    Thanks.

    Do you have the audio as an mp3 file already? Then just drag it into GB's timeline. If you have to capture it first, there's several browser plugins that do it or general programs like Audio Hijack or WireTap.

  • App to import audio from vinyl or cassette to Mac

    I would like to import audio from my vinyl and cassette collection to my iMac.
    Does anyone have any recommendations for a reasonably priced App which will do this successfully?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Just tried this again.  I may be missing something with the options in the dialog box which states the following defaults:
    Format: ZIP
    Method: Normal
    Exclude Mac Resource forks (selected) - don't understand what that means?
    Delete files after compression - not selected.
    At the foot of the dialog box it states "Drag files to RarGenie in the dock"!  Not sure what that means either.
    Please don't spend any more time on this if you don't have an easy answer.  I was really hoping to hear from someone who had used an available App in the App Store which they had found easy to use and not too expensive and which could be used with an appropriate hardware device.

  • How do I import music from a portable hard drive to my iTunes library?

    I have a portable hard drive with music on it. I have been successful in Importing Files from that external drive to my iTunes library and can play the music on my PC. However, when I sync my iPhone in an attempt to load those new songs, those songs get the little !exclamation point! next to them and the message "Original File Cannot Be Found". What do I need to do to get these songs from the portable drive onto my iTunes library as permanently recognized files that will be sync'd to my iPhone. Any guidance is greatly appreciated....thanks

    Connect the external drive and choose Consolidate Library from the Library section of the File menu, or open the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences and tell it to copy music to the iTunes music folder for future imports.

  • How do I import audio from a minidisc to use in iMovie?

    I have a Minidisc with some audio of my band recorded directly from the mixing desk at a gig. I want to try to mix this audio in with some DV footage taken with a camcorder. Is there a way of getting this Minidisc audio onto my Macbook so that I can then import it to iMovie? Do I need an digital audio interface or some kind of conversion software? For instance, Wiretap Studio or Audio Hijack.

    hey there 12frets,
    they can & sometimes do record the audio on the same tape as video, but usually not film... & as Bengt said they also record onto a separate device always w/ film. generally for music videos the audio is "laid back" onto a Master video/audio tape & then the visuals are shot on film, though that is changing w/ the increased use of digital media/formats for audio & video. that's where the clapperboard came in to provide the film editor w/ a visual cue(closing the clapper) to synch the recorded audio(sound of the clapper) w/ the film.
    there are lots of options for mics & recording devices. i have an Yamaha AW-16G & recorded bands live to 8 tracks then mixed it down to stereo & mixed that into an FCE project w/ video from 3 cams. i took the audio for the 8-trk recording from the house mixer's input channels direct outs-set my owl levels & EQ. it did take some time to do the mixdown. get some decent project studio monitors-i use Alesis M1 mkii active, but Event, M-Audio & Samson are also viable. i also use visual cues from the 3 cams to synch everything up as well as i integrated room sound from my main cam(locked down static wide shot) to add a bit of realism & crowd noise/appreciation- also juiced that up w/ an applause sound effect from Sound Dogs. i've been in audio & video for over 30 yrs & am constantly reading & studying to keep up w/ the technology & various techniques- so Google is your friend for researching & learning. Videomaker mag, DV Mag & Creative Mac(website) are some good places to begin.
    good luck.

  • How do I import audio from a dvd?

    There is a song on a dvd that I want to import into iTunes. I searched all through iTunes store, amazon & the movie companies website, but there is no soundtrack available for sale.... or by the musicians anywhere.
    Is there a program that will record any audio that I play on my mac, and then I can import that audio into iTunes?

    It's currently unclear if actually copying a DVD is illegal. What is illegal under the Digital Milennium Copyright Act, is breaking the encryption on commercial DVDs (a necessary first step in copying). Recording the audio as it is played by your computer (what is sometimes called the analog loophole) is still, apparently, covered under the older fair use laws. So, as long as you're just recording the sound for your personal use, I think you're okay. Burn it to CD and sell or distribute it and you've crossed the line

  • How do I import music from itunes, windows media player or my music onto a ipod?

    I have just got Now 83 on cd and want to download it onto my iPod touch (4th gen ios 6.1), I have iTunes and have made a playlist with the songs on, I have ripped the files onto windows media player and  i've got the songs in my music folder. What do I do now? I've tried copying the playlist and file but it doesn't work so... (10 points if good answer)

    If this is yes, you will get 10 points.
    Don't lie.
    No - exactly the opposite.
    You cannot sync the music on the iPod, from the iPod to iTunes.
    You have a choice:
    Follow lllaass's tip, mentioned in his post of 22:35 this evening. Not my preferred method, because I believe it becomes difficult to manage with a large complicated Library and an absolute nightmare if you ever need to Restore your iPod. Not to mention moving everything to a new iPod, eventually. But don't let me stop you.
    Take my advice. Put all your music etc. into one Library, using an external drive to move songs from other computers to the one computer and iTunes Library you intend to use. That way, you have one Library to work with (which you should then regularly back up onto the external drive, so that if your computer's drive fails, you can restore your Library from the most recent back up). Play counts, Playlists etc. etc. are all there, in one place. Less likely to lose some content, compared to having stuff all over the place.
    Assume that I am lying...
    Huh? What's that all about? I'm trying to help you. I have quite a few points to my name, you can see for yourself. Those points are awarded by people who feel that I've helped them, I don't put them there. You will find that I can be very caustic in some of my posts, but that's with people who deliberately come here to cause trouble. Unfortunately, there are many of them. Their posts usually start with;
    I hate Apple
    I don't like iTunes
    I bought an iPod
    they have a user name such as "Fred Linux 985"
    ...and they have no points
    (I have nothing against Linux).

  • How do I import video from an external DVD player?

    I got married yesterday! The DVD of the ceremony is 3". Won't play in the iMac. What kind of cable do I need to convert the output of a standard DVD player (which does play it) into USB input for the iMac?
    Thanks!

    Congratulations... but should you really be posting on Internet sites this soon?? 
    I'm with J D on the best solution however to directly answer your question the solution is the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid (link) which as well as providing an S-Video/Composite Video to USB adaptor also turns your iMac in to a Digital TV/TV Recorder.
    The USB conversion will likely be lower quality than if you use an external DVD drive and OpenShiiva (link); which converts DVD to mp4 (mp4 can be imported to iMovie if you need that or converted for iPod etc).
    Otherwise MtR as suggested just copies the DVD contents to hard disk and can be played in DVD Player.

    : how can I import mp3s from my gmail account into my iTunes application so that I can import audio for recording into GarageBand ?

    Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes.  How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • How do i import video from my go pro to i movies

    How do I import video from my go pro hero 4 to I movies

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.
