Using krec to convert music from Cassette to MP3
 

Hi All,

I am trying to convert music on my Cassettes to MP3 using Krec. But I am getting stuck here. I can record the file but I don't know how to export them. It gets stored in .krec format .

Even I am not sure how to convert them into mp3 format ?

I am using fedora Core 5

Please help me on this.

Well, the handbook says

http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdemul...tml#export_mp3

but I've not tried it myself :)

You may be interested in Gramofile. Although inteded for LPs (black, round pieced of soft plastic played by dragging lumps of super-hard diamond across them :) ) -- it declicks too optionally -- you might like it because you can record one file and have it split it up into tracks for you automatically, or because like me you're a command-line type of guy :)

Then you could use lame to encode to mp3:

Hi ,
Thanks for the Reply. I succeeded in converting music on Cassettes to mp3 by using Krec. It first got in .krec format then expoted it into .wav format which eats lots of space though!!!.Then used lame to covert the .wav file to mp3. Happy and releived I am. moreover a complete Opensource solution isn't it ?

Thanks for the Help.

the krec handbook says we can export it as .mp3 by doing some settings at KControl, But I couldn't find any . Can you please help me on this?

Don't know anything about krec (or any KDE programs), but most people would use Audacity for that job.
