In 1.3 partularly the later 1.3s recovery should be totally automatic (it's always worked for me on the later Betas) There are some instructions at the bottom of the recovery page in the Manual for manual recovery - see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Recovery The link it gives to the Wiki recov...

You also need to know that the old music tapes may outlast the music CDs. ... You can transfer all you want, but don't throw out the tapes.
