I am trying to recover to CD some vintage reel-to-reel and cassette tape music programs. I have a working reel-to-reel tape deck and a Dell Inspiron E1705 laptop running Vista Home Premium.

I have played around just a little bit with Audacity but have found it kind of hard to use.

I have the loan of an ADS RDX-150 audio converter that, supposedly, takes in my R/L stereo audio and digitizes it to a USB port. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Audacity to recognize input from that USB port.

I am open to other approaches and I'm hoping that folks on this forum can give me some good ideas. I just want to get CD's made of these materials before I am no longer able to play them.

Thanks
