The audio CD that we created from you cassette tape can be handled as a regular music CD.
When the music CD is inserted, iTunes will automatically open and start playing.

You can import the songs to iTunes library and synchronize it with your iPad, iPod and iPhone.

Unfortunately we can't, because it has to be done through your iTunes on your computer.
Apple treats iPod(or iPad, iPhone) as a player, not an archive device.

However, once your cassette tape is converted to an audio CD, transferring it to iPod is very easy thing to do.
Here is how to do it:
Put an audio CD into your computer (PC or Mac) > open iTunes > import disc > synchronize iTunes with your iPod, iPad or iPhone.

To learn more about transferring an audio CD through iTunes, please go to Apple's tutorial site.

We are pretty quick in general.

.cda file, which is a music audio CD format.

Because Audio CD is much better quality than MP3 files.
Please read here for the reason.

there is no room for compression.

There is a trick called "Over-buring" which enables to burn(= make) a longer than regular CD,
but the CD created with this trick is not a standard CD anymore.
It might or might not work on your system.

There are some longer than 80 minutes commercial music CDs in the market.
They are using a different type of CD(larger capacity CD) which is not available for burning.

60 minutes (practically up to 70 minutes).
A longer than 60 minutes tape will be converted to two audio CDs (side A and side B).
The price is still $15.95 for a set of 2 CDs, same as a 60 minutes tape.

Depends on your iTunes preference setting, you might see a strange music CD title pops up when you insert an audio CD.

You might see a music album title that has nothing to do with your original audio CD.
For instance, iTunes will give a Heavy Metal Music title to my grandparent's interview CD, and
next you insert the same audio CD, iTunes will give you a totally different music title.

We all know this is a annoying function for a private made CD.
There is nothing we can do to prevent it.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the audio CD we made, either.

This happens only when your iTunes' s "Automatically retrieve music name from internet" option is checked.

To solve this problem -
You simply disable this function by going Edit > Preference > General > un-check this option.

Unfortunately we are not offering transcription services.
