Those old Sony walkmans
Please help, Im off on my hols soon and l will be bored out of my skull with er indoors and Jess my little one.
I love the audio cassetes but as Ive listened to them 100 times over, Porridge, A touch of Frost, etc I am looking to buy CD`s or get them down loaded to a MP3 thinghy? How do I down load (after I have paid) and to what device? Im 41 going on 61 but just want something easy to down load to and a idiots guide to pressing play! So I can have a few audio books etc to listen to on those tiny things whilst I burn my white legs and face in Portugal or the dragons choice! Please pm me or help! |

I do believe Amazon are doing an audio book ad campaign on one of their readers

What kind of phone do you have? If you have a Smartphone, which you may be planning to take on holiday anyway, then simply download the free Amazon Kindle App and you can read to your hearts content.
Most phones already have an MP3 player built in so you won't need anything else other than your phone. HTH Derek

You need a link lead from headphone out on your cassette to aux input on your pc. 3.5mm male jack plug each end from memory. Play cassette and most modern pc's and laptops have direct "rip to " software already in windows. Buy a USB plug in type MP3 player and direct copy files burnt from one disc drive to the other. Only drawback is cassette has to play in real time to record to file. Not like a cd which will rip files very quickly. Cd copy conversion is direct from the disc drive in your pc to "rip to" software. Happy Hols

Get an iPad, life sorted
listen, read from newspapers to books, Many free, and all your music at your finger tips. Long battery life and you can still get on the forums.
