The most priceless memories and events might still be recorded on VHS tapes or cassettes. Convert them before they'll get too damaged to be recovered. You'll need a preamp or receiver to connect the Walkman to the sound card. Get special software such as Audacity 1.3 then capture the audio. It's a lengthy process but it will be worth it. VHS tapes can be turned into DVDs using a VCR and an analog-to-digital converter. Dazzle DVD Recorder is good enough. Install the software, connect the VCR to Dazzle and plug the Dazzle into an USB port. Vinyls can be transformed into MP3s using a preamp, a cable or Ion TTUSB.
