Ken Dryden Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 I had a delightful interview with David Hazeltine today using Skype. My issue being it is an audio only mp4 and I have been unsuccessful finding a way to burn it to a CDR. I typically have played files like this using the headphone jack on the iMac to connected stereo inputs on my Tascam CD recorder, but I am not hearing anything through the headphones and even the level output isn't showing anything. I also have a laptop capable of burning CDRs. Can anyone help with suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Maybe you can first make an MP3 version. I use software called Switch to do things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Foobar still works great on Windows, and they have a version for Mac. But I can't speak to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 VLC is another software that works well to extract or convert file formats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted October 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) I’ve been using Foobar to download to my laptop so I will try it. Thanks for all the suggestions. it was nice being able to record a Skype call but it was troublesome that it would vanish after 30 days.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 If you want to back it up on a CD-R, just burn it to a CD-R as an mp4 file. You can burn any data file to a CD-R. It doesn't have to be an audio file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dryden Posted October 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 If I can’t play the CDR in a CD player, it is kind of useless to me. I burned a CDR using the mp4 file an hour ago when I couldn’t get Foobar to convert it to an mp3. I will see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
