    I've had good results playing from a cassette deck and recording on PC. Then just writing the result to CD.

    Use a high–quality cassette deck and an audio interface. Capture the audio into software, e.g., a DAW like Logic or ProTools or an audio editor like Audacity. Leave the Dolby NR off on the cassette deck (well, unless it's a Nakamichi or something awesome like that).

    I bought an USB cassette player.
    downloaded Audacity , and hey presto.

    I have converted an album, and got the tracks separated.
    I have them saved on the C drive on PC. I can play them individually on Windows Media Player , but cannot get all the songs onto Media Player together to burn onto a cd?
    I know they are downloaded as a WAV (?) file at the moment, and need to be played in an MP3 version on Media Player.

    I'm stumped ! Anyone got a solution??

    Use NERO to burn the tracks to a CD.

    Convert your wav file to mp3 in iTunes and burn CD from there.

    Yes. Compress the shyte out of it. That'll sound great.

    Indeed. Yours was a bad suggestion. Quality from an old cassette as a source will be compromised enough without squashing it further.

    Again that's not very helpful to the OP.
    Offer a solution perhaps?

    There was a helpful solution offered above. A (free) program like Nero will do the job. There are lots of similar alternatives available. This one will do the trick. A handy little tool. http://www.nch.com.au/switch/

    I presume the OP came to this forum because it's a place where people who know what they're talking about post. You appear to be sore about the fact that you were called out on your bad advice.

    Let it go.

    ;)
