How to wire an iPod to a vintage "Ghetto Blaster"?
Is there a way to modify a vintage style "Ghetto Blaster" to play an ipod? It is just for a party so it doesn't have to be pretty or even permanent. Thanks!

Answer:
Well if this Ghetto Blaster has a pair of RCA import ports on the rear, then you can use a stereo mini to RCA breakout cable. This is the best way to go and perhaps the cheapest and most reliable.
If not, then you can use a stereo mini to cassette adapter, but the door might not close without a tiny notch for the wire. If this machine is used, likely the cassette heads are worn anyway and you'll get lousy quality, more than normal with cassette adapters. Works most times.
Another method would be to get a iPod FM transmitter and tune the stereo receiver to accept the FM signal. This is problematic too, especially in cars when you travel and the stations change and crowd out your FM transmitter. Set up is a hassle and unreliable. FM transmitter costs a little money.

Capturing Streaming Audio to MP3
When Internet radio first began, regarding all a listener might do with it had been, well, listen. And the listening experience wasn't terribly good. The sound was awful ... when it worked at all. Having the audio stream abruptly terminate, or take endless time to re-buffer, was a standard occurrence.
These days, most Net broadcasters use much higher technology to send their streams into cyberspace. Yet, more listeners are equipped with broadband Net connections, sensible sound cards, stereo system-quality speakers and subtle media player software.
The listening downside has been overcome.
Now, what about the power for a listener to capture those audio streams and save them to play back at can? The technology to try and do that was slower in coming back, however it's finally here. With the right program put in, you can now capture those live audio streams from your favorite Web radio broadcasters and save them to your hard drive to fancy as usually as you like.
There are currently several shareware and even freeware programs obtainable for recording streaming audio. Their names include Voice Activation Interface, WMA/MP3 Recorder, Audio Record Wizard, Advanced MP3-WMA Recorder, Silent Bob, 1 Sound Recorder, Ace-High MP3 Recorder, 1st Simple Recorder, Visual Sound Recorder, Audiolib MP3 Recorder, Audio Playback Recorder, Loop Recorder, Replay Radio, FairStars Recorder, Boombox Web Radio Player, and Straightforward Radio.
As you would possibly guess, these programs vary greatly in both simple use and in the options they sport. Some can convert an audio capture into a large variety of various music file formats, whereas others can only handle one or two. Some, however undoubtedly not all, can automatically take away noise and hiss from the audio. Equally, some will remove gaps caused by buffering or network congestion.
One in all the first, and still one in all the simplest, audio capture programs is called Total Recorder. It will record PC audio from almost any supply, including streamed audio, CDs, the computer microphone and alternative input lines.
You'll download a free evaluation copy of Total Recorder, however it can insert a bit of noise regarding every 60 seconds throughout the recording. To be in a position to record audio while not the noise, you must purchase a license for the software.
The recording software that I notice very exciting is the type that not solely will capture an audio stream, however can conjointly reserve it as separate audio files ... automatically. The most obvious use for this is to interrupt up a music stream into individual song mp3 files. The most effective audio capture software that I apprehend of, that features this mp3 splitting feature, is named Radio2MP3.
Internet radio has finally come back into its own. The sound is nice and thus is the variety of programming. Being able to record all those wonderful radio streams is that the icing on an aurally delicious cake.
