Re: audacity vs goldwave
Josh Kennedy <joshknnd1982@...>
for my purposes when I was using my $25 USB cassette tape player
to make backups of all my old tapes from the 80s and 90s onto mp3
files for safe-keeping, I used audacity. and its a good thing too.
some tapes had four tracks and I had to get the tape into the
computer then do some editing to turn those four tracks into
separate mp3 files. especially the tapes of the old 2xl robot toys
that I still had. I really enjoyed going through those old
cassette tapes and backing them up to mp3 files.

Assumedly, the person asking is confusing DRM protected DVDs with CDs. It isn't illegal to copy music from one cd to another for personal use. It also isn't illegal to make a cd for personal use of music on your machine for personal use, just as making a tape from a record isn't illegal. DRM protected DVDS, which is what were said to be illegal to copy are DVDS, not CDS, and their contents is protected from copying by DRM, digital rights management code. That is the only thing that was said to be illegal.Gene----- Original Message -----
Although some have claimed otherwise, I can't say with certainty that is the
case here in the United States. My inclination is to err on the side of
caution for the sake of protecting the list since it requires special
software to remove the DRM and copy commercial DVDs.
