Or just run the headphone socket of the casette to the line in/ microphone of the pc?

Why not just download them?

Surely the quality will be rubbish?

The Frequency responce on that is really bad. most humans can hear well above 18k

Why not just download them?

I'm guessing he cant download them, due to them been on tape they are probably old rave songs lol or they arn't available for download!

Has anyone ever done this, whats the quality of it like?

 

[b3nje]

quality will be s**t

If you use something like the Terratec pre-amp above you get very good recordings with no audible loss in quality from the original. A certain site I use has hundreds of old rave tapes which people have done using this method. The quality ranges from very good to awful but it all depends on the tape in the first place.

Smokey has done a few tape-to-mp3s and they've been fine
