I am wanting to transfer some audio cassettes to my computer but cannot find a player with a USB cord?
Answer:
If you have a conventional soundcard, you don't need to use the USB port. For full details visit the on-line guide at:

(follow the link to 'cassette to CD')
software also available here..

If you need to use USB, then you have two choices:
the USB turntable which doubles as an interface for any audio device, or a USB soundcard, more on both here:

You may be forced to use USB if you have a laptop as they often only have a mono mic input, otherwise your soundcard should be able to handle it..
hope this helps
You need to run an audio cable from the line-out or headphone jack on the stereo to the line-in port in your computer. Then just use a program like Audacity to record it.
there is a way to set it up.. but.. it's not going to sound good plus.. your going to have to get some kind of software like cool edit pro.. to cut them into songs
If there is a headphone socket on your cassette player then it's easy. You will need a cable with a stereo jack plug (3.5mm) at each end. You will also need a recording programme, I use audiograbber which is a free download. Then plug the cable into the headphone socket on the tape, and the line in socket behind your computer. Start Audograbber and under file select line in sampling. Start off with the tape volume fairly low and adjust till the recording levels are OK just to test. Then simply record to your computer. If you wish to convert to MP3 you will need an encoder, the instructions for downloading this are in Audiograbber. Hope this helps
