Im nixed as to what to do nest! bright ideas warmly welcomed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogun2 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Two different formats. It was over 40 years ago that I used these bits, but from memory we would record onto a DAT audio recorder in .wav format, but I used the DAT drives for my computer backup. They could see but not read the files. You need a DAT audio recorder/player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a computer backup DAT drive will 'see' the tape but cannot read the digital audio stream. Best bet would be to play them on a audio DAT player / recorder either into a computer or a CD recorder and keep it all in the digital domain. I have a DAT and a CD recorder but not much time to help. WHere in Melbourne are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
