I have some airchecks on audiocassettes which I like to transfer to CD. Can anyone recommend a good "Combo Cassette/CD Recorder"? It doesn't matter if it is a boombox. Most stores sell "Only Cassette Recorders" or "Only CD Recorders". Any combo machines out there similar to those "Combo VCR/DVD Recorders"?

Yikes! The answer is yes, they do exsist, but they're not cheap.
One source is trying to sell me a casette/cd recorder for $800.00! (cdn)
Even after converting the price to a lower american dollar...it's still very pricy!
(1$ Cdn=aproximately 86 cents U.S.)
I'm not sure if this helps, but here's another option that might not cost as much:

I'm not sure why you would need a "combo". There are a number of ways to do this. You would need a cassette player with an audio output. Then you could use your couputer (see www.dak.com for the software) or a cd recorder.
Wow, it must be funny for what I do: The way I do it is just play my cassette player into my computer's microphone and record it onto a program as an .mp3. I guess that's the route you can go if you want to spend no money at all

Hey, that sounds fine. But if you're using the actual microphone (instead of an input), aren't you concerned about background noise in the room?
I'm still looking for a way for my laptop to record in STEREO. The mic input is just in mono (which comes in handy for old 45s, but not much else....)
