text: how can i transfer music from a cd to a tape and back to a cd? i have to get this done for my class.?   ok, my dad has a 12 track digital music recorder(dmr), so...here's how i would do it. put a cd in the stereo and record the music to the tape. connect the stereo to the dmr with left/right audio cables and record the music off of the tape. our dmr has a built in cd burner, so i simply burn the cd.
