 I'm with THIS answer. No sense in replacing all of 'em or getting rid of 'em.
I would be more keen on getting a new cassette deck and continue to play them. (Coming from the guy who bought Fat Boys (1984) and The Family (1985) on CD this year  ) | |

Stax said: heartbeatocean said: What do you mean "audio line in"? You mean the mic in connector? What is the built in mic? (I know there's a built in mic on my PC laptop, but I don't see one on my Mac) I have to get this straight. I have a G4 tower.I don't know about the tower, but the G4 laptop has a 1/8 mini audio line in right next to the 1/8 mini headphone out. The laptop also has a built in mono mic, but it is pretty much useless. I suspect your tower has a 1/8 mini line in on the back. Yeah, I have the mic input but I don't think the tower has an internal mic. But is this the 16 bit stereo in you're talking about. The little hole with the picture of a microphone next to it? I guess I'll just have to test it out. See if it works. | |

 I got a top notch Sony cassette player at Salvation Army for $20. Hooked it up to my CD player and speakers.  | |

I did it on my iBook using a product called iMic to create a stereo input to my Mac notebook http://www.griffintechnol...ucts/imic/   It'd be nice if it took an RCA or 1/4" though. | |

heartbeatocean said: daPrettyman said: On ur pc, u usually have a "line in" jack on the back. You can use the mic in also, but it doesn't record it as well as the line in. My Mac doesn't have a line in, just a mic in. My PC laptop only has a mic in and what looks like an RCA line out for a monitor (?). Check out the iMic link above. It creates a line in but hooks up to your USB port. it's pretty cheap as I recall. I used it with my ibook and created MP3 of my Apollonia albums among others 
SORRY I SEE YOU DID LOOK AT IT. I THINK WHAT I ENDED UP USING WAS AN RCA TO MINI-PLUG CABLE I BOUGHT AT RADIO SHACK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. [Edited 7/11/07 22:07pm]  |

Is there any way cassettes can be transferred to cd or mp3? I want to actually listen to the music but in mp3 form for my Ipod. Has anybody done that? What equipment is needed to do that? I took all of my cassettes to a place that specializes in transferring cassettes into CD format. It was so worth it, because I didn't want my cassettes anymore, and I sold alot of them on Ebay. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |
