Atari datacorder, CD Player and CD Cassette Adapter

[lextorite]

I am planning to store all my cassette software onto CD's and was wondering if it is possible to use these CD's via a CD Player -> CD Cassette Adapter -> Datacorder on a Atari 400 or a Atari 800XL?

 

I built a CD library already for a few of my other vintage computers.

Yes.

 

I believe the most efficient way would be to just create .WAVs from CAS images using CAS2WAV.

 

Better still, rip them to mono MP3 files.

 

Or better again, just use APE or get something like SIO2SD.

Hello guys and gals

 

If you have a BlackBox and want to archive disk software, you can also do it this way.

MP3 file compression generally destroys the data because it's a lossy codec. If you really need the audio around, you can use a lossless compression format like FLAC, WavPack, etc. However, using CAS files with CAS2WAV would be a better (smaller, more reliable) solution.
