newcomer, i've just bought a c64 with 300 programs

I've been looking for a c64 to make music for quite some time and I finally found one for £15, a real bargin you'll are agree. The music programs that I got with it are as follows; ubiks music, the music system, drum studio and soundtracker 64. Some I can't get to down load, I'm thinking maybe the tape heads need demagnetizing. Has anyone ideas why this could be?

You can use cartridges to freeze software and save it to disk, but this is a little crude and wouldn't work with multiloads. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to just look online for the disk versions of your cassette software. There will be very little not easily available online and what you can't find online is probably not worth having anyway :)

Or, as I wrote, get a MMC64 and use it as a converter from pc-c64 (disk). Or grab a RR-net and use it.

Those methods are the only ones that has worked for me.

There is alot of tools you can use that allready can do it (cannot remember the names, sorry) but if you use ABC Turbo (FLASH version) for your tapes you load insert the tape into it with the basic load command, and write the basic command save "nameoffile",9,1 as I remember but that is long time I did it.
If you use other turbotapes the syntax for save would be save "nameoffile",8,1 and ofcoz you need a formatted floppy in both cases in the floppydrive.

Easiest is to use A.T.T.A.C V1.0 when transfering tapes.
