Don't know anywhere local. Couple of Googled options: [url]http://www.preciousvoices.co.uk/[/url] Or if you're not scared of the technology do it yourself for half the price: [url]http://www.preciousvoices.co.uk/[/url]

Windows (I'm assuming Windows) has a sound recorder built in, the only part you might need to buy software for is writing the audio CD, I don't know if XP or Vista can do that natively.

Try to find someone with a USB turntable with tape option. Brother-in-law got one from John Lewis recently for £80ish but it'll be pistols at dawn if I volunteer him without his knowledge!

I've done this with my record turntable. Similarly you have to establish the output type on the tape deck and input lines on computer. My system is three years old and has input points back and front. For the deck I found a 30 foot audio extension cable that connects the two - as long as you get the male/female bit right. Use audacity - free software programme that records to MP3 format and does things such as cleaning up the sound. Only thing with this is that it takes as long to record as it does to play the original unlike burning from CD. Alternatively I think Alta Image in Railway Street are offering to do video to CD and may be set up to do what you want. Technology very similar as it uses two audio leads and one video lead to connect VCR to computer. So using just audio leads should do the trick. Worth asking anyway - John Dunkley still the manager I believe.

Having been on a walk of the town began to wonder if Harran's reference to tape is cassette or video. In any event see two part answer above OR if video, then do see John at Alta Image.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It is a cassette tape of a tarot card reading my wife recently had done at the new shop in Hertford (near Michael's jewellers) - he should have seen she'd have problems getting it transferred to CD!
