 |  MP3 to TAP conversion required
Dattilografia is an Italian educational tool about typewriting.
Somebody saved the two tape images as compressed MP3. All my attempts to restore working TAPs or WAVs from those MP3s failed.
If any of you has experience in that, and would try to do the same, it would be appreciated.

The end result really would be to have it returned back in to a .wav
Is Mike D still active, can he help? He was the person who gave us wav tapes for C16/Plus4.
I guess you would need a sample editor, one that can load MP3's and save it as a .wav but also allow you to change it into Mono if required, the correct frequency which Mike D has or used to have on a web page... but most of all Volume control of the sample. It would be the volume setting of the recording that would be the most difficult to get right.
Also how was it recorded in the first place - maybe any hope of making it work has been lost just because how it was originally copied?
Any idea if this has been released under a different name in other countries? What would it be called in english or an idea what it might of been called? You would think Commodore software would be more common and have already been copied, maybe hiding on some d64 some where?

Yes, of course I got the WAVs from those tapes, and they doesn't work unfortunally 
We need someone who knows how to clean and manage the resulting WAVs.

I might give it a go (this not to discourage others, though  ). Is it a turbo loader?
EDIT: OMG, the quality of the recording is dismal... is it possible to re-record it with a much higher amplitude? This is gonna be next to hopeless otherwise.
