+Schmitzi Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hi, just as a quick shot, here are some threads which maybe can help.... But I think a good way would be to catch a cheap vintage cassetteplayer from ebay. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/247427-the-oem-ti-cassette-cable-is-wired-wrong-or-how-i-spent-today/?hl=%2Bcassette+%2Bwav+%2Baudio&do=findComment&comment=3408433 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/238185-best-mp3-player-to-use-as-the-cassette-storage-devices-cs1cs2/?hl=%2Bcassette+%2Bwav+%2Baudio&do=findComment&comment=3235497 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/251113-help-using-an-cassette-tape/?hl=%2Bwalkman&do=findComment&comment=3483390 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/228161-am-i-losing-my-mind-searching-for-a-program-in-vain/?hl=%2Bwalkman&do=findComment&comment=3042390 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/251113-help-using-an-cassette-tape/?hl=%2Bcassette+%2Bwav+%2Baudio&do=findComment&comment=3483365 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKarith Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I was given a nice cassette cable at FestWest (thanks again!) but am of the opinion that for the PC, a stereo cassette cable is warranted for cheap USB audio interface usage. Particularly since cheap USB audio interface usage is probably the right way to do it--isolates from the noise inside the computer, and you won't have random PC sounds messing up your data transfer.

RickR Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I think an MP3 player will work. Put the WAV files on there. If you have a cassette interface cable for TI, just plug it into the MP3 player headphone jack. Press "play" on the MP3 player at the appropriate time. Experiment with the volume level. I may try this myself very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I've got the wav files, I've got an MP3 player....now to get the TI out. Give me a few days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith99er Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Do any of the TI emulators create WAV files from program listings for recording to cassette? Perhaps an odd feature but just curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yes, MAME/MESS. The cassette interface is fully emulated, which means you can also load from a WAV file, even from original recordings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuphis Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Going to give this a try with an MP3 player. When I got my TI several years ago there were a couple of CDs full of cassette programs thrown in the auction. I have a cassette cable. Will be interesting to see how it works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 To get an idea how to work with the cassette in MAME, try first in TI BASIC. Use the OSD menu, go to File manager, mount a new wave file or create a new one. Enter some BASIC program, then save on CS1. You have to do all cassette operations via the menu item "Tape control". For convenience, do not step out of the menu with ESC but use TAB only to switch between the emulation and the OSD. One thing to note: For some obscure reason (I'm not too familiar with that subsystem), the cassette emulation is stereo, which does not affect the console emulation. However, it seems as if there were two separate recordings, one of them shifted by some seconds. In "Slider controls" you should pull down the volume of one of the channels of "cass_out" so that you don't get a "chorus" of two data recordings. As always, don't hesitate to ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iKarith Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Cassette cable might work fine with mp3 player for input. Likely not for output. Though that's probably not an issue unless your mp3 player has record settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
