I'm trying to make mp3's from a tape of a friends band, I have a tape player with a cable going from the headphone socket to the microphone socket of my sound card.
How do I convert from "line in" to WAV file, are there plug-ins for xmms which would allow the input to be accepted from "line in" and the output redirected to a file?
Doesn't Linux call all hardware files? could I use xmms (or mpg123) to "play" the file /dev/microphone (please correct this), and get it to play to /dir/a_file.wav instead of /dev/sound.o
Is there a utiltiy to do this properly that I don't know about?
(I've installed CorelLinux but am ditching it and going back to redhat or SuSE pretty quickly)
All mails appreciated,
thanks,
Ciaran.
