Ha.
I kinda thought that was the way it worked, but these Chinglish instructions you get with 'puters are so bad that I couldn't tell.
That might just save one of the notebooks that I'm retiring from the dumpster. Got an external CD burner that'll work with it, and an extry turntable--one that even plays 78s! There's probably a stereo preamp kicking around here somewhere.
At my mom's are hours upon hours of stuff we taped in the 1950s. Quite a few reels of a community band where daddy and I played, that's still in existence. And I'd bet I've got the audio to the entire Spin and Marty series. We got a tape recorder in 1955, and we were just crazy for recording everything: family conversation at dinner, Lawrence Welk shows, ANY music that we made ourselves (and that was plenty).
