  • After I download the software link to my Mac, how do I install it please ?

  • @Gauraonline If the window to open the software doesn't automatically come up, double-click on the white icon (the DMG) right below your Macintosh HD, then just follow the rest of my video.

  • I have a Mac Book. I followed your excellent video and at the end, I changed the files from .mov to .mp3 but each side of a cassette is taking up over 600 mb of space and now my start disk is over-full. Any suggestions?

  • @mboltwood1 Yeah, check out Miro Video Converter. It is free & allows you to convert to .mp3. It also is extremely easy to use.

  • When I tried to add my mp3 recording to my iTunes library, nothing happened. I can play it from my desktop, but not with iTunes. Any suggestions?

  • You could try converting it to .m4a file format then putting it into iTunes. Prism is a good Mac file converter.

  • when i open sound recorder there is no link saying 'line in' - am i doing something wrong

  • But can you transfer videos from a cassette to a Mac?

  • really great thanks a lot

  • I just used your tutorial and it worked great! My problem how ever is that I can't put it in iTunes. I read the comment below where you suggested converting it to a .m4a and I did that and it didn't help. I need to put the files on CDs and when I put the mp3s on the CD, nothing plays but it does recognize that there is 76 min on it. PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Along with many others, I too don't have a line in on this Mac laptop. What do I need to do now?

  • I luv ur cassette player.

  • Thanks so much for this great video! You made it so easy. I've been wanting to convert a cassette for quite awhile and you made it possible!!! Look forward to watching all your other tutorials and learn more cool things!

  • I don´t have a line in in my macbook :(

  • MY MACBOOK PRO MY 13 inch MACBOOK PRO DOSN'T HAVE LINE IN!
